    I bet your fingers got frost bite this morning !
    If you're looking for C&C on the pics, I find them interesting but a little cluttered, ie. too many distractions in some of them.

    I would have loved the second one, had the foreground not been there..

    The others don't really do much for me, sorry. Nothing really interesting in them.

    No guys, not cc just testing out my FF cam outdoors for the 1st time!
    I'm also a cricket fan so they would mean more to me than you'se. :)

    But would it be as accesable and where is it?
    Is that the club you follow?

    This one?
    I had started on this field and ..well there was not much there.
    So took the 1 shot and discovered the next one!

    If it's not this one I don't know where it is so...also is Civil Service the club you follow?

    Is the season starter around April?

    I have no interest what so ever in cricket,and none of these do absolutly anything for me...

    2 would be the only one i'd actually like,but the forground is terrible
    possibly better if you focused on the gate and not something behind it...

    The rest look like shots you'd see in a newspaper for a place for sale

    In your second pic if you peer throught the trees to the left of the monument you will see the civil service clubhouse also used by a hockey club and a running club!

    #2 is meant to be like that, the pics are not landscapes but more what an old fashioned run down cricket club is like when you go in close up and behind the scenes, so you have it correct with the newspaper quip. :)

    Ricky!!
    The General manager of the Cricket Club loved the pictures and wants to use them and has asked me to cover their matches for the forthcoming season.

    Knowledge of the sport eh? :p

    ..and a 600mm to boot, though Phoenix is not that big a pitch and in club games you can move about freely enough

    I never claimed I was good at sport, I said my knowledge of my chosen sport was.

    It's a smaller pitch than Clontarf's I assume?
    I am saving for the 100-400L anyways, can't afford the 300mm 2.8 sigh :(
    At Clontarf my 70-200+1.4 covered teh pitch on a crop fairly well, although reading reviews the 100-400 would be sharper than the other combo.
