1, 2, 10 + 12 would have been junked if I were processing them. Too soft to keep.
3, 4 Much better, with 4 being the pick of the two,
5 Fantastic shot. Love it. How did you get Turks looking not moody???
6 A well executed shot, but not really my thing. It takes a particular car in a particular light at a particular type of circuit for me to try that sort of shot and Touring Cars are not it for me, but different strokes etc. You pulled it off.
7 The car is lost because the foreground clutter drags the eye away. Otherwise, cracking effort.
8 Like the lens flare, not so sure on the composition, it just looks incomplete to me somehow but I cant put my finger on it.
9 Love it.
11 Might look better in colour but in B&W its just dull. Sorry.
13 Good shot, nice composition, great colours,.
14 Same again but this one is my pick of the two, maybe because I prefer the BMW to the Ford, it could just be my prejudice.
15 OK. Good shot, but having one portrait shot in a full gallery of Landscape oriented images is a little bit jarring to the eye in my opinion.
16 Good shot but if you had moved slightly the R in MCR would have been clear of the tyre and had a bit of an exclusion zone around it. I think that would have been better, but again, personal taste.
17 A great setup, the lines of the trailer lead beautifully to where something, anything, anyone just something please, should be. The ideal background for a pop-colour driver portrait in my mind.
18 Wow, yoda got some sun! A nice jokey shot to round out the set. I like it.
Thank you for responding
I don't do motor sport but when I do look at this section I can almost guarantee that the majority of images will have cars racing at false angles ... so it does seem to be 'the norm', which puzzles me.
Of landscape photography, images without a straight horizon would, I suggest, be a rarity rather than 'the norm'.
I entirely agree that each photographer can treat an image in any way that appeals to him or her but I wondered why this apparent 'norm' is the case with motor sport.
When you are trying to fill the frame with a car, unless you are dead head on, or dead on the back end, you get a lot of empty space around the car if you shoot a flat landscape image. If you angle the car from corner to corner, you reduce the amount of boring and fill the frame with interesting car. On more wide angle shots its often about getting the relevant lines in the shot out of the frame at or near the corners because the image then looks more finished and more dynamic. You are right, it wouldn't look right on a landscape shot, because landscapes don't need to look like they are doing 100mph even when they are standing still, racecars do.
