Shot this at the Cal Poly tractor pull. Driver ended up losing traction and lost control and ended up getting disqualified for driving out of the designated borders.

Initial impression: Never saw a tractor pull like THAT before! Very funny, and had to look to see what was going on with the front tires. Maybe he was gunning for you!
Technical: Focus a little soft, may have wanted to go to 400 or higher ISO to get the tires; they'd have to be pretty luggy, and here they look too smooth. As you couldn't clone out the power lines behind, a tighter crop may have helped strengthen your shot. Basic composition not bad and lighting was ambient, more could have been made of it. Some glare on tarps.
Artistic: Lots of fun to shoot! Don't know if you set out to get this shot, or it just happened, but I enjoy it.
FWIW: No editing details are listed, so I would suggest getting either a freebie editing program (see recent dpc threads) or, if you have one, playing with the tutorials and getting comfy with it. Some use of (in Photoshop) curves, brightness/contrast, and unsharp mask would help punch the image up a little more.
All in all a good effort, keep shooting and entering challenges!
That sure doens't look like the International 300 this reviewer owns. :>) A unique look at unique American motorsport. The image is a good one, although a closer look at the front end might have been better choice, but given the restrictions on how close one can get to events like this, it's a good image.
Well done.
