Surfing: Rob Machado Seaside ProJunior Tournament

All shots with the 7D and the 70-200mm f4L. I need more reach, I almost rented a 1.4 extender but still can justify the cost of renting it.

All the shots are heavily cropped. Heres an example of the 7D's cropping capability

I like these a lot. Yes, a longer lens would have been better, but these still came out fine. I like #4 the most. Did you add any blur to the photos?

Very nice shots! Keep 'em coming.

3,5, and 6 are very nice. Great work with less than ideal gear for that sport.

Yeh good old gaussian blur to the tops and bottom of the images to isolate the subject

Thanks for the compliments everyone
