I love everything but the crop. The Charger front end is just too tough looking to clip off. I tend to favor vehicles leading into the shot unless it is really pronounced. To me, this is like almost the whole car, but not quite. Does that make sense?

Try and rotate the image counter clockwise so that there is more angle to the shot — more drama. I know it's not natural, but it might help to break the linearness. Just some thoughts.

apart from not having the front of the car in it looks great
its sharp, the smoke and blur have made the background into a greeny grey mess which makes the car stand out more.
looks great apart from chopping the front off

oh, and welcome to POTN

i have other pics with the front in them, but there was so much smoke from the tires, you could barely see the car!! Well this pic is the best of that day because i was literally 15ft away from the car and he was coming and he was coming fast! I didn't know whether to move or take the pic! thanks for the c&c!!

i love this place!

no worries, this is the place to come for C&C
i know all about tyre smoke making it hard to shoot drift, shooting with a flash at night makes it even harder.
you have done well with this shot as i said before, i look forward to seeing more work from you in future
