Pre Sonoma Test, eh?

Looking good but I'd rather see them in full color rather than selective.

Good framing in #1 to get Mr. Kahne in front of the suites(?)
Nice dynamic image in #2 with Mr. Shrub on three wheels (maybe crop it a bit tighter...)

You've just reminded me that my NASCAR season ends this weekend (Happy Dance!!)

Welcome to POTN and to Motorsports. I think the composition in these are nice and a great catch in #2. I have to agree with FlyingPhotog though, the desaturated backgrounds aren't the best for motorsports.

can look cool in some cases just not this one. Number 2 has some potential though

thanks guy for the comments guy first try at desaturated backgrounds but you're right color works better with motor sports thanks

[mongoosed]

you can sightly desat it..... but full on BW doesn't really work.

I think #2 would be better if you cropped it a bit, i dont like selectivecoloring in most motorsport pictures, think they would look better in full color.
