Experimenting at the Open North American Championships

Under bright blue skies and intense sun, huge mushing teams took to the trails around Fairbanks this afternoon. I headed to Creamer’s Field where I could position myself to watch the teams race by on their way out, and then again as they headed back in toward the finish. I tried for variety, telephotos and wide-angles, backlit and front-lit, cropped and uncropped… After my first glance and early post-processing, these are my favorite. Thoughts?
