Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Just a couple from Sunday. I was out at the Jamboree on Sat so missed the first day of racing and some spills it would seem :(

Took a new spot and different approach this time, also spotted Ghetto Panda roaming around taking shots from some great locations! (where are your photos?)

I like this for the reflection in the wing mirror, oh and the lifting of the wheel!

And this car was just amazing, one of the only open wheelers to lift a wheel as he was pushing very very hard and taking a slightly wider line across Lover's Leap.

Ahh so many photos, so little space :)

Some wheel lifting...
One Two and Three

And this guy didn't need much for a rise all 6.6L of it!

C&C welcome. Sorry if they are watermarked, seems the url rewrite may be having a fit ;)

Cheers
Brett

Great shots, but yep, the watermark seems to mess each one up quite well.

Ahh the lovely watermark. I guess I'll have to look at the url rewrite then, damn. Mind you I don't mind them being watermarked ;)

Thanks for the comments. Was a great day and a lot of fun :)

Lovin' 2&3, nice looking machine. And in #1 you can see the guy's face in the mirror which is cool. And finally, a very pleasing perspective you shot from.

My pick is the MkII Escort 2-door. I have a bit of a soft spot for that version of the small ford, and I reckon that shot depicts what they are all about... Fast on a budget! Nice shooting!
