Missed Shot at Daytona

I was looking over shots designated for the trash bin before I hit the button and found this. No good since the focus is on the wrong part of the car, but what a cool reflection. I can't remember ever having a reflection like this on dry pavement.

This MOMO Porsche had an incredible paint job.

that is a nice reflection, it must have been there but I bet we never see them

That was SUCH a wacky paint job. I feel sorry for anyone following that car when the sun hits it JUST right.

That was a cool paint job, the photos of that car turned out well for whoever got some. That reflection extends on to the yellow paint, did you have a filter on your lens?

Fantastic car to photograph. Definitely a cool reflection!

I got some good reflection shots, but none with the number showing in the reflection. No filter.

You know, man, I don't even really mind the oof on this one. Really gives it a phrenetic sense of motion. Like you managed a glimpse of a car moving really quickly. All too often we capture these things dead still, and that isn't how we see them with our eyes is it?

I don't mind the focus either, but I understand where you want it to be. The reflection is a cool capture.

Dont reject a cool shot just because it doesn't meet conformist criteria. I realize you'd like it to be sharp, but its still a cracker of a shot. Is the rear wing cropped or out of frame.....that (to me) poses more of an issue than the softness.

Sometimes missed shots can be great shots. The reflection off of the track is awesome though.
