Jim, my first impression is that the 200mm has compressed some of the scenes too much and confused the subject: this I think is true for the tanker images, but I love the effect on some especially: 7: 9; and 11. Here the perspective has really added to the scene selection. They all look like good records of a fun day Cheers Alastair
