It's put together well compositionally for a simple subject. It may be hard with skin tone and green grass to really show a full B/W tonal range (true white to true black). Maybe don't always need to cover the whole range? I'm not sure 100% on that myself. :P

Smile and keep having fun! :)

Perfect shot for B/W. Might even toss in some grain to go with the time period these boys represent. Great eye to see this and capture it! :)

He-he. You should send a 4x6 print of this with your letter of complaint. :) BTW - would make a cool stock photo. Well done!

Aw Man...this is a nice shot. It would be really sweet if there was just a little panning motion to go with it IMO. Still, very nice job of catching this. Good luck in the challenge.

Yeaaahh! A fun shot to look at. :) Nice capture. I like the sense of motion that the panned background adds to this. Would have been a tad stronger IMO if the focal point had been more on the rider than the back tire, but it's still fine (tricky to do I know). Overall, very nice. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Cool car. Seems to be going a bit slow - coming into pit row perhaps? A slower shutter speed may have given you a bit more motion blur. As it is, the guys in the background give the impression that the cars barely moving.

Could be my monitor...did you check the histogram on this shot? Seems a little underexposed.

Good luck in the challenge.

Dang. This photo is so busy with all of the color and bright lights, the blurred lines of the car lights are nearly lost. Cool starbursts on the larger lights. :)

I know Skip is a fine photographer here at DPC, but I didn't know he owned a market. :P

Good luck in the challenge.

is the hound pound bound?

This is a cute photo (I think). Hard to tell much about the dog. Does he/she have any "clothes" on at all? Too far away to tell for sure. Is there a connection between the dog and the red object on the sand, or is that an incidental item?

Compositionally you've followed some good rules with using ROT on the beach and water line, and the red object in the lower left.

Would I think 'Speed' just looking at this photo without a title? Maybe. With the title it's even more confusing what the storyline of this photo is.

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. Will be returning after the challenge to see if some of the questions are answered, and to see what others had to say about this as will. Should be a good read. :P

At any rate, good luck in the challenge.

Speed at night in Chicago

A slightly longer exposure time (not too much) would help this with the speed impact (light trails). To really make this work the background lights of the buildings and the overhead road sign should be crisp, not blurry. JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.
