Hello,
Hell of an effort thats for sure. In fact in my personal opinion this is pretty cool. I say this because I think you got yourself into a no win situation here and came out of it fairly well. By the no-win I mean funny cars, they are either doing 3 miles per hour or 250+ I can't even turn my head fast enough to follow them down the track let alone a camara :). Three things I think hurt you here were 1) Your horizon is tilted giving me the sense the car is going up hill. 2) The funny car is way to tight we need some room so we get the sense that puppy is rumbleing down the track or about to. 3) To much of the crowd it is a bit distracting maybe cropping some of them out would have helped. The funny car itself is fantastic nice and clean well focused a nice job for sure. Over all I like the image but like I stated prior I think you just got caught in no mans land.
Excellent sharpness & color on the car, but for me the background is close to being just blurry rather than being motion blurred, so I have an unsettling double vision feeling. I really love looking at this car with the crowd blocked to include only the top third of the frame (although I'm sure this will do better as you have it cropped). I like the way the tilt flattens out some of the car lines while creating some interesting angles.
