It's obviously a rally car heading down a dirt road in between to grassy meadows. Unless they stole it, there's the story in a nut shell.

Lower would have been better .... this is odd looking down angle... not really over head though.. so a bit mundane.

Probably what's killing it the most is the background is too clean. We don't really get the impact of the good job you did panning because there's nothing back there to show off the blur.

Post process could have punched it up... but I still feel it's a photographer's shot... and not one that grabs the eye of the viewer.

Good pan, though.

Thanks for the compliment JT. I too didnt like the look of the background and Im really glad you pointed that out for me, I will try a different spot in the future and try to get lower.

After reading your feedback on this, I willo start thinking in a whole different way! Im beginning to like this thread already!
