Good job for what seems like very difficult conditions. It seems like a very fast sport with low lighting, which makes things hard. I would really like to see the shuttlecock in each image as that is the focus of your subject. I feel that would add a little more to these shots. Looking forward to seeing more as this is a unique sport.

These pics look very good. Adding the shuttle in the scene completes the composition as already mentioned. However badminton is a tough sport to shoot without taking several thousand actuations for several matches.

What was your ISO and shutter speed?

Nice shots, a tip for shooting racket sports is that the best shots are not shot across the body to the racket on the far side. If you shoot the on the same side where the racket is you capture a better view of the athletes facial expression as they tend to be facing at least slightly towards you. Have fun, these were really good for a first go.

Agree. Can't see much of the faces. Also shooting upwards on a jumping smash, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Exposure is very good and nice colours. Using a 5D mark2? Would like to know your exposure settings as well. I guess you were at 1/250th or 1/320th of a second for shutter speed. A couple of the pics have a bit of motion blur in the body.
