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.

Pics 2 and 3 for me. Love the car body roll and wheel angle in number three. Brilliant shot. Number to shows creativity and the fauna borders the oncoming vehicle nicely.

Thanks for your feedback. I was stoked with #2 because thats how it came out the camera (no edits - just resize for web & watermark). #3 was one of the last shots I took for the weekend and just saw an opportunity to be a little creative - required a bit of PP to get the desired effect, but happy with it.
Cheers Craig!

A great set, I really have to admit that #1 appeals to me the most, something about all the trees.

Yes very keen for you to be up so close....Rally is one of the few sports where you can still get close I hear

Im no accredited photographer so these were all taken in the designated spectator areas! Having said that with so much forest around, there really isn't anyone stopping you from having a wander. Its great to get so close, but at the same time I am always mindful of my positioning...for example you don't want to be this guy standing on the stump! (which was the apex of that hairpin)
