The windshield in the foreground is very distracting

I wish this was in better focus. I love the shot and the long exposure on the falls but the fact that everything is a little out of focus kills it for me.

I like the lighting in this photo, but two things would have made it a better photo, in my opinion. The dark blotch on the lower-right and the blurriness at the bottom take away from this picture. Also, I would have liked to see more of the car.

I can hardly see any color in the car. It looks like it was desaturated.

From the Critique Club:
Okay, this is a sports action shot and as such we are at the mercy of the available lightand of course the swift movement. The image has pleasant colors, but contrast needs a boost. The image is not in dead focus.
Of course, the dynamics would change in your favor had you waited to catch him at the end of the swing. This would have added more excitement. As a matter of fact many sport photographers shoot this on drive mode.
Another thing you can do with this picture as is, is to crop it like a baseball card.
The one lesson you should learn from this effort, is to resolve the focusing aspect. Learn the knack of prefocusing and then waiting for the action, but if much movement takes place do not hesitate to refocus.
By looking at your port I can see that you are well capable of focusing your camera, so all you need is a couple more visits to the arena. You will learn that a different mind set is required for different situations.

Nice car! I am a little distracted by the blur on the bottom and the black on the right.

This is great - Although the car is probably standing still, it looks like the photo was shot from the window of a passing car - gives it a fleeting feeling as if the old car is driving back into the past. Because it is facing left and we have a right to left mindset, the illusion that it is going back in time is enhanced,,

This looks grey to me. The blurry triangle shape in the lower right corner is very distracting.
