A striking image that conveys movement. Good colours and the car is well placed in the frame. The panning effect works well and helps to eliminate distractions from the track. The top quarter of the frame adds nothing to the picture, and does detract. A tighter crop losing the top quarter may have benefited this image a lot. The watermark, although I have ignored it during judging, is a major detraction, and I'd highly advise against using a watermark on competition images. This could easily have seen this image drop outside the top 10 on another occasion.
Well presented and lit image. Stunning colours and low angle view adds power and impact. The hint of light hitting the background is giving good subject separation and isolates the car in the frame. There is a light reflective triangle just under the rear spoiler which if darkened slightly may have improved the image further, as it just draws the eye. A very competent image of a very high standard.

They say that less is more, and sometimes that is very true in photography. The isolation of the rear quarter tells me enough I need to know about this car. The colours are stunning and the composition is strong, using a portrait crop. The lighting is beautiful and the fast fall off of the light gives a cinematic look to the image.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** These last 100 or so years have seen our world transformed by many things, and not least the car. Whilst 1886 is credited as its birth year, courtesy of German inventor Carl Benz, it wasn’t until the Ford Model T rolled off the lines in 1908 that automobile ownership for the masses started in earnest. As the new era of electric cars picks up pace, let’s see how you’ve photographed cars of any era, and their impact on our lives.
