LOVE the first one. the crop is very clever and the PP is excellent aswell.
they do look a little dark on my screen though. is that intentional ?

yer i was trying to create a dark mood so the actual dominant figures (cars) would stand out more but im a bit undecided if i like it either. ive fallen in love with my first one tho haha and i took the last one of stuart towns main street because my parents brought a painting of the same street so i tryed to capture it as it is nowadays.

That first one is a nice capture. There doesn't seem to be a great deal of panic, not sure what part of the race it was for that team - but I like the subject separation all the same.

The last two seem a little underexposed in some areas, possibly over processed. Might try and bring out some of those darker areas. Just a suggestion.

Some good work, well done.

I do like the B&W vs Colour treatment you have given the cars. Almost makes them interesting to me. (I have a very low opinion of V8 supercars for personal reasons :) ) In fact, I think they are some of the best images of that variety of car I've seen yet. Great work.

The last two are fantastic. The mood you have attempted to capture is done so really well. The vignetting on the station is geometrically strange but works really well.

I also like the colour B&W treatment you have given to the cars. Nice work.
