Good contrast areas. I wonder how this would look if more of the bottom photo was cropped out?

So many entries don't get the "high contrast" thing. You have done it very well. 9

Great shot - the more I look at it, the more I'm impressed. Great stop action and the use of B/W works surprisingly well. It has a high key feel and yet has amazing depth. Excellent shot - bumping up.

good title. the motion blur is very good, but the bottom of the frame is fully lacking interest... leaving this photo feeling unbalanced

Gordon in control :) Great capture of the motion blur. The sharpness of the fast moving car is phenomenal.

Very cool. Excellent shutter capture. I assume you tripod-followed the car while capturing? Looks great and definately stands out. 9
