Interesting captures, but I think B&W is not appropriate for joy (But that's only my opinion...).

Awesome pics.. :)
The two fly bys are wonderfull compositions..
I really like the "cheer" and the clapping hamnds as well.

Congrats on the Olympics !

Can't agree with you there I'm afraid, think back to the images at the end of WW2, they captured the very esscence of jublilation.......excellent pics by the way, as CDS said great composition on the fly past and the raised hands, thanks for sharing them.
