Darren Heath's F1 big picture

Why has the pic been changed to a link?
 
nope does not work for me, too distrcting
 
I would rather see the concentration in full, possibly grainy, uncompromising, contrasty. This has in my opinion, missed the mark, because you are distracted by too many things.
 
I've seen loads of this sort of thing and taken a fair few myself... but that one... miss IMHO
 
Of all the things to shoot at a Grand Prix weekend, with a pit pass and a 600mm lens, this is not one of them :thumbsdown:
 
As one of a set of decent editorial photos of the event, I can't see how this is a bad photo at all... tells a story/demonstrates a point... it's not your generic panning shot of a car going past, and the photog's editor certainly would have been ****sed if this was the only shot that he'd submitted, but as one of a panel, with a description.... it's certainly a part of the whole story imo...

Up to a point. My problem with it is the photo on it's own doesn't tell me much - and I'm a big F1 fan - it actually needs narrative for it to make sense and that devalues the image. IMHO of course :naughty:
 
No I fully understand about a set of photos to cover the entire story of a race meeting - to do this you zap away at all sorts of details up and down the place. This one is a clever idea gone bad though.
 
It only doesn't work for me as I could not tell (without reading) that it was of Webber. I've seen plenty of 'eye' shots of others that identify the driver (or rider) and then you can imagine the back story.

I think this one (of his) of Button works much better.
 
Yes Voyager, that one is brilliant, but the original would have ended in my trash can! Suspect its only published because the photographer is known, if you or I submitted it, we would be laughed at.......
