That first shot is superb, how on earth did you manage to take that? It looks perfectly in focus but is obviously coming towards you and the background is blurred. The faces are great as well!

The last shot is fairly nifty as well

Not that tricky, 400mm(+), 1/1000s(+), smallish aperture

Not motion blur - focus blur. With a long lens it's a pretty easy effect (in fact getting it ALL in focus is the hard one!).

But kudos on taking the shot - nice one.

Mm nice shots - I like the heat haze in the last one. And the Tuscan, of course

Aha, that would explain it, one assumed it was motion blur but looking again at the wheels gives the game away a little. Great shot either way!
