I took this photos at the Sunseeker Rally. The cars were some way off and this was taken with a Nikon 80-200mm zoom and cropped slightly. I have desaturated the colours to give an antique feel. I like the shot, but interested in what other think.
Thanks

I like the desaturated effect Jerry. It makes a good contrast with the usual very shiny cars.
A couple of points though. The car looks very static and cramped. It is helpful to give some space to the car at the front so it has some room to move into. Also I would not add a vignette effect in the corners as it gives a "hemmed in" feel. To get the idea of speed panning is the best appraoch but it takes a bit of practice to get it right.
Best wishes

Catherine, many thanks for the feedback, it is really appreciated. I definitely take the points on board about the cramped feel and that not being helped by the vignette. I have the original RAW file to play with, so I will try a different crop etc...
Many thanks
Jerry
Same comments as all of the above. I have uploaded a mod which has the vignette removed and more space for the car. Sharpened a little, and toned down the glare on the bonnet and window. Added a little wheel spin. AS you still have the original RAW it can give some ideas hopefully.

Hi Willie,
Thanks so much for the mods... I agree with you about all of the points you have mentioned and i can see how extending the canvass makes a difference. I do have a bit of space to play with on the RAW file. I had not even really noticed the glare until you mentioned it, and again a small difference has a big impact.
I will be having another play with the image tonight!
Many thanks
Jerry
