 Taken at the Stafford Motor Speedway. I admit I watched him search for it for a while and was slightly amused....I was sneaking around with the 55-200 VR all week. And this was one of the best so far....Minor Post processing, Cropped, adjusted level, contrast/brightness, sharpened resized and blurred the back a bit....

greetings from the critique club,

let me first by saying Dex the quality the D200 is producing is sensational!

technically this shot has nothing wrong with it , the colors are vivid, good focus, composition...

but i feel that the reason why the people voted it down (In my opinion) was the following,
1) black and white conversion, usually street photography correlates with BW, i don't think so personally but a lot of people do.
2) there is no clear story to what to the man is doing, and this is the hear of street photography.

nevertheless, the quality of the pic is quite impressive.

hopefully that was helpfull!
GO team D50!

cheers
