some good photos, thanks for sharing

the first two have nervous bokeh - the backdrop was tough

I remember you said bokeh is purely lens' character and 300L II has one of the best lens' bokeh. So actually there is something of "image bokeh" = lens' bokeh + quality of background blur as that Zeiss article suggested if you still remember

1d4 or 7d with 70-200 f2.8 II would be better for fps action imo  - and less expensive setup

When I read this one hour’s ago I knew this is not right in DOF calculation and was going to bring up but I had to go to a meeting. Joger saved my time in a above post

if I could afford the great 300, which I can't, I wouldn't hold on to a 5dii

Many times lenses are more important than bodies. 5D3 certainly will increase hit rate but will not dramatically improve IQ.  Most of his photos are not fast action shots anyway.
