Lovely find..My opinion is that you should maybe crop in a bit because the background is distracting. Or even brighten up the main object and saturate the background a bit.

a little too much uninteresting background for me, not enough subjct. i realize it fits the challenge better to not feature the animal completely, but i just wish the background was more interesting.

::: Critique Club :::

Hi, my name is Kari and from the critique club.

First Impression - the most important one:
You are so right ....I think this is a great out of the box shot.

Composition:
The composition is fine .. the dirt track is almost on thirds and the top of the cages are working towards that are well.

Subject:
So what ... success is self determined .. .and starting is always a good place to begin.

Technical (Colour and light):
your aperture you included in your comments it is the f stop information so is 3.8.

Colours are great and sharp for something with so much movement.

To grow its vote?:
Think about how others will see the image ... I think this is one from left field .. and for me that works .. for others they like to be spoon fed the normal type o stuff... you have a good eye use it.

Summary:
Great work for a first entry fantastic.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

Cheers

Kari

excellent expression of the theme. a tighter crop would improve this. seems a bit fuzzy.

Why didn't you take a shot at the end? To see the winning guy would've been a real succes.
