#1 - It does not appear to be sharp, and the car is too bright. Also, the shutter-speed appears to be much too fast, therefore losing the effect.
#2 - The colors were crushed, backlighting is too harsh, and there is an interesting focal point.
#3 - The concept high above the carousel in the trees, is a neat one. Not many people attempt it. That being said, the shutter speed should have been dropped around 1/13 or lower. (more like 1/4 - 1/6) Also would like to see more of the car. The effect is lost though at higher shutter-speeds.

#4 - I do like the Whelen shot going into T9, but the highlights look a little too bright.
#5 - Is a neat image, sharp, and love the heat distortion. Also, lifting the leg is a nice capture.
#6 - This image is not for me, appears to be no depth of field, and the angle suggests it is shot from the Sargento bridge, looking down towards T5. Desaturated, and blacks are crushed, too much contrast.
#7 - Interesting, again the colors are muted, and too much contrast, but it is somewhat sharp.
#8 - Always brings in more attention when there is damage, and the fact that the GT car is battling a DP, you're lucky it was cloudy when this was taken, otherwise the lighting would have been much more harsh.

All in all some of these are good. Keep it up. Look for the light, look for interesting scenes, experiment, and if a shot doesn't work, it doesn't matter. It's all digital, just delete and try again, or look somewhere else, and try something new.

Thanks for the feedback, Jake.

The dark processing that I do is either a love it or hate it thing. Still experimenting with it a bit. I also seem to be one of the few people that does not like color. Bright colors are distracting to me.

I somewhat disagree with the slower shutter speed through the trees. Go too slow, and you begin to just have 'stuff' in the foreground. That said, I did indeed drop the shutter to 1/4 in that spot, but was not happy with the results.

Not much of a fan of six either, but I love the shot because it is the classic Mustang v. Camaro battle, on one of the longest straights in the US located at Road America. The context of the shot is what I like.

These last few races I have been challenging myself to break all of the "rules" of photography to develop a style of shooting and editing that I like.

Appreciate the comments!

I really like image 3 a lot. You just dont see a whole lot of those types of captures.

Five is my favorite. #6 is interesting as I have only seen a few photos from the vantage point there. Good work SS.
