this pic took some skill. i was looking at my shot from the same challenge and you made this comment:

Originally posted by redmoon: great shot, brilliant conveyance of speed, and well done you for keeping the car in such pristine focus. must have been a right bugger to get right, or at least it would have been for me. 10.

the funny thing is, i feel the same way about your shot. it would have been a bugger to get the blurring looking real, and for me it was much easier to just pan.

on a side note. the reflection observation is a good one. i would have never noticed.

1/100th of a sec is pretty fast. to get that much blur the car would have to be really moving. as an example take a look at this shot in the same challenge 1/120th . it's just a fraction faster and there is a lot less blur. however, we don't know how fast the race car was moving at the time (it could have been during a caution), or the distance from the car (being closer to the action would mean you have to pan quicker).

just the fact that people aren't sure if it is PS or real tells me that either way was done very well, and probably should have been top 10.

nice use of the challenge. the only thing i would recommend is to increase the contrast just a tad.

i think a more unique perspective would produce a more interesting picture. red was a good choice for desaturation.

the green and red work well together

i like the people being part of the shot, but the two that are half in the shot on both sides would be better off either in or out. i like the semi-panoramic crop too.

very nice b&w, it's nice to see a shot that didn't ignore the b&w aspect. the tonal range is excellent.
