I like it. You have competing diagonals - the lines made by the bottom of the dust cloud (going from upper left to lower right) and the edge of the track (lower left to upper right) witht he car sitting just above the intersection. I'd crop a bit off the bottom and the left and put a little more space in front of and above the car to imply more movement... Overall, I like the graphic elements and the soft lighting.

I don't know if I've shown this one to the group or not, but it's one of my favorites. Taken at Road Atlanta's Turn 10 during the 2007 Petit le Mans sportscar race, just before the sun went below the hills. http://NutDriver.org/2007-PlM-Esperante.jpg One of the Panoz Esperante cars had spun out into a gravel trap off to the right of the shot a few feet. After coming almost to a stop in the gravel, he pulled it together and surfed over to the pavement, creating a huge dust cloud. In the photo, he's just regained the pavement and started accelerating through the dust cloud to continue the race. Unfortunately, the wind was fairly still, and it took a couple of minutes before you could see into, much less through, the dust cloud. Several drivers had some exciting moments going through that cloud. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
