Not an expert in motor sports, but here is my take..The underexposure of the car itself, works in this case, but yeah... I want to see more of the front of the car. It's just too cramped right now. The headlight is a point of interest and I'd like to see both with some breathing room in front for the car to drive into.
Funny, my first reaction was, Woah.. sweet shot. But then I thought about it and went and looked at some of my motorsport shots and it seems I don't keep these. I've got a few keepers of cut off cars, but those all have clear views of the driver inside. So they are sort of Sportrates if you will. This shot doesn't have enough light on the driver to even see his helmet. I really like the drama, but it seem I wouldn't keep it.
The final test for me, if I'm not sure, is, "how would that look framed on my wall?" If the answer is OK, but not great then it's not really a keeper. I think that's what you got here. OK, dramatic for sure, but not a framed print on the wall.
if you could see the whole car, the lighting would be dramatic and nice, but with the car clipped badly on both ends, it would not make the cut for me.
i really want this one to be good. the dramatic lighting is so nice. but i think i have to agree with the others. if there was more of the front of the car i think it would do it!
