Heh - based on commenters, it appears to be a "guy" thing. :-) Good overall picture of the action, though I agree that shot getting the mud flying might be good - just don't know if you could get closer or if you wanted all that mud on your camera!

A sports picture that is non-traditional. I like it! Very popping colors and that smoke adds so much to the photo.

OK shot but might have been good to see a close up of the wheels, that's where all the action is.

Headers come up through the Hood? Must not have much if any muffling must have been loud.

Ok, it's a tractor pull. I get it.

But, what I am always seeing first is those advertisements.

theres this guideline to sports photography, and one of the big NO NO's is just what you have done.

This image should be about the truck, the horse power, and the tork it is using to pull that damn tractor.

Through this image, I should be hearing the growl of the engine.

But, the advertisements are keeping me from doing so. They are highly distracting. Also, the bg with the truck wheels and the legs chopped off from smoke is unwanted as well.

Again, it is about the truck and not about the fans.

comp could be better, light ok, color excellent, barely can see the stop action, blacks and whites on the edge of bad and ok, nice texture, dof too sharp for what I just explained to you.

Just doesn't do anything for me, maybe a closer crop on the truck.
