Crouching Secretary, Hidden Luncheonby

Composition : As others mentioned, slanted horizons can be a little distracting. I didn't have a problem with this one, in fact I personally thought it added to the feeling of motion. My nitpick with the slant is that you may have wanted to bring the car up a little higher in the frame. If you are showing downward motion, you might want to give the eye more "down" to look at. You did this very well with the placement of the car on the left side so it could travel into the shot to the right. I was just thinking a little more room on the bottom for the same purpose might have been nice. (As with all comments, this is just my opinion and
not necessarily right :) )
Exposure/Lighting : The image is just a tad overexposed to my eye. Not massively, just a little. The grays are kind of muddy and you don't have much in the way of true black.
Focus : This is a text book example of panning. Excellent job. The trees are identifiable and the car is nicely frozen. I especially like the motion on the wheels.
Post Processing : While I think this requires a little tweaking to give richer tones, I have to admit that I have no idea how to do it :) I hope you understand what I mean.
Emotion/Challenge : Definitely no problem here with respect to the challenge. Well thought out and well executed. I assume the title has something to do with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but it was lost on me.
Opinion : Good concept, well executed. I just wished for more room on the bottom and somewhat richer tones.
