Christmas brought us hot wheels. C&C welcome on these, which is best and why?

First might be best, I think, though in general aperture was a bit wide, DOF is extremely shallow. Is "Hot Wheels" a round track? Can I see some more of it?

I second that, depth of field is way too thin.

Thank you for the input. I was having trouble with the lighting is part of the reason for the shallow DOF but I was wanting that bokeh in the background of it. I will set it up and try with a wider DOF this evening when I get home.

#2 came out best

Thanks Frequency. I was really struggling getting a shot that I was happy with on this set. I laid on the ground and rolled over and practically was upside down trying to get the right angle.

I'll be trying the DOF that LaFoto suggested.

Here are some other photos with a larger DOF.

This is the whole track.

:-D - what fun! Now I know what it all looks like! Good.

So, new challenge now: one of the car shooting out of that loop! ;-)

Thanks LaFoto. I was trying that the other day but the lighting and timing weren't cooperating. I will be doing that. I had my almost 4 yo helping me push the button while I was trying to capture the car coming off the end of the ramp.
