WRC Rally de Espana 2011

Hi, a few shots from Spain last month, constructive criticism welcome as always.

Graham

Love the #1, Peter Solberg FTW
Great set!

Superb set of shots, thanks for sharing.

The stand-out shots for me are #1 for action and #3 for atmosphere/context. It's a shame you've chopped the heads of the spectators in #5!

My only minor criticism is they lack a bit of PP work to really give them a bit of punch.

Cheers,

Rhod

Well I have to agree with ,Rhod,lock ,stock and barrell.

Really enjoyed seeing them,one is fantastic ,showing the massive commitment of the WRC Drivers,and the skill and bravery.

2,and 3 are super shots.

All in all a great set .

Pons

Agreed! Great set of images, although I'd agree with Rhod the images could do with a little PP to help them pop! 2nd shot looks a little flat for my liking. 1 and 3 are my favourites.

Number 7? Was this taken on stage 7-10 El Priorat? We drove this stage on the monday after the event and this corner looks familiar.

Great set of photos, #1 does it for me great action shot.

Thanks Paulo and Stewart, number 1 seems to be most peoples pick, hope Petter gets a drive next year or he will be badly missed.

Thanks guys really value your opinions as I have seen some really great stuff from both of you. I need to spend more time on the PP, I have all the tools PS,Lightroom etc but never seem to have the time. I have seen so many over processed shots that I think I am slightly wary of over doing it. I will post a some of these once i have had a play and you can advise me further.

Cheers

Thanks for the feedback. Shot 2 was taken just as the sun was thinking about coming up so there was no light at all and unfortunately the WRC dosent wait for sunrise!

Yes number 7 was taken at the famous El Molar hairpin on El Priorat, great spot but again taken at sunrise, light was much better for the 2nd run but I was at another location.

Going to start working on the PP now that the season is almost gone.

Cheers

Great set, pity they're not bigger posted

I really like #1, not so keen on others sorry, and slower shutter would have given images more speed in the last 2. But they do lack a bit of PP as they are a bit flat, but still in overall it is a good set mate!
