The wall of death ones look sharp enough to me, getting the rider sharp must have been a nightmare, but worth it.
Why do stationary engine owners always look so 'happy'?

I had hoped to get the rider a little sharper, there is still some motion blur visible. But yes, it was a right pig to get those!
As for the engine owner...he does look a cheerful chap doesn't he? That's why I couldn't resist zooming out and including him in the shot

I rather like the engine owner shot! Great expression and pose, and I love the 'Stuart' . Have you considered cropping off the entire left half and leaving a portrait orientation shot concentrating on him?

Thanks Tim. I hadn't considered that crop. I suppose I was blinkered as my initial aim was to photograph the engine. Holding a piece of paper over the screen ( I'm in work now ), makes me think you are right.

Lovely machines, well captured Fr Ted. 'Stuart Little' looks like he's a bit of a character!

Here are a few shots. I know the wall of death aren't as sharp as they could be, but, to be fair, the guy wouldn't stop for me to take his photo!!
