Comment by Dave Gordon:
Nice closeup and use of blur to show motion and create a sense of action. The bright swirl of light across the fingers may have been intended to have the same effect, but IMHO it is a distraction.

Like the strong motion in this one and the glare from the ring: it allows to realize the upward and downward motion.
However, I do think the hand is a little too red for my taste.

The hand movement is well captured here.
I'd like to see all the parts of the guitar in focus

Maybe need to brace the guitar so only the hand and strings are in motion? I wanted to do this, but couldn't do it as well as you did.

Could be my eyes but the guitar looks soft. Like the movement in the hand and the composition

Well-chosen vantage point for the shot, especially good for the light trails which need to be well-placed for good effect. Nicely exposed.

Greetings from the Critique club
Great shot. It's so hard to work with the existing light in these situations.

The main thing I see is the crop. Way too tight horizontally.

I'm probably the worst person to get this image to critique, since I don't do this sort of work!

The large sign (?) above the person detracts. I'd suggest cloning it out. A little darkening of the bright lights would also cause the machine and rider to stand out more.

I think this image could be made to be really outstanding with a bit of work in Photoshop.

Love the concept of the shot. But I think the sled is a little crowded in the picture. I think the lighting is a little to thin as well. It could've been a little brighter which might've also lessened your shutter speed and made the picture a trite bit clearer as well.
