As said, tried to get some in flight but as soon as they were in focus they landed

Well here are my attempts

brilliant.

 

dont know if it;s due to compression but your pics look a tiny bit fuzzy? (no pun intended fuzzy)

[JohnP]

No3 is the best IMO... there is visible noise on the images probably due to an hefty crop and a few minor dust spot on the sensor. Overall the shots are pretty damn good as far as I'm concerned...

#3 is a cracker. Well caught

[Kobione]

Nice set, Fuzzy. No3 is great - looks like he's been polished!

I wasn't saying they were bad shots, just look a little fuzzy, but it could be the compression of uploading onto the web

Is the fuzzy bit more in the right hand bottom edge

I was trying a different right hand overhead flash. Not on these but on some others I was concerned I had got a diffused flare in the lens (flash too far forward) The fixing of the flashes needs a little more thought so they dont move accidently

It could be more pronounced on compression  

No3 started life as a 16.9meg  cr2 compressed to a 13.5meg  dng converted to a 7meg jpeg and then dropped to a 1meg for Photo Bucket

The crop wasnt too severe

The original

 

Probably looks better when compared together, such is life
