You certainly caught some good action and happy faces. The dirt flying at the bottom of #1 shows up well. Well done.
I'm not happy with the exposure in these. Each shot has some blown areas, especially in #3. Sometimes blown areas don't bother the viewer too much, but in #3, it is a bit too much. If you shot in RAW, you may be able to make changes.
Glad you got the D3 and the 200/2.0 VR, the pictures look good !
i might have to have a visit to you, and see if your new toys will win me over to the other side
The blown areas arent objectionable at all, and I think the exposure is right where it needs to be in order to keep the clothes right... I think the internet forums are way too blown highlight sensitive. It actually adds to these because its controlled very well and makes them more interesting to look at.
The first one is just great, as those sticks just add so much to it.
Great job, and great combination... I lust after the 200f/2 but I have no use for it, especially with the D3 making the 70-200 so much more useful. these make me reconsider... =o)

If these were exposed correctly in RAW, it should be possible to pull back the highlights and the shadows of the clothing. I am nonplused by your attitude that the blown highlights add to the pictures here.
