For me this shot captures the essence of motorsport. The feeling of speed is brilliantly captured with the panning technique used, shooting at 1/30 to create a deep blur to the background. The vivid colours of the car and the driver against the pale colours of nature create a beautiful scene. There is also a sense of the dangers of motorsport, the open cockpit, the absence of safety barriers and the narrow strip of tarmac. An absolutely worthy winner!

The focus of this young rider on his cornering technique makes this image! There is a steely determination that defies his youthful size and face and it is a wonderful demonstration of the passion motorsport competitors possess for their sport. In addition, the riders position close to the tarmac, knee scraping, and the subtle toning of the colour palette creates an evocative image of motorcycle racing.

What an image to capture the lows of motorsport! The composition allows the viewer to see the crashed cars blurred in the background, the yellow flag showing the fact it has recently occurred and the immediate emotions of a driver who has no doubt fought all season for the ultimate goal of a championship title. A true example that motorsport is as much about the excitement and emotion as the cars themselves.

What a fabulous image that perfectly presents the fun side of motorsport and trails events! The expression of the passenger and his wacky headgear show the eccentricity of some competitors, especially in these amateur categories of motorsport. The angle taken by the photographer also helps to place the car and its occupants in the surroundings that capture this type of motorsport, showing the rugged and muddy terrain associated with trails events!

What a wonderful image to capture the enjoyment of historic motorsport! These beautifully presented vintage racers are sharply captured using an excellent panning technique with colours popping against the blurred fields behind. The photo shows the competitive nature of motorsport brilliantly, the determination of the driver in the foreground to pass his opponent while all three have expressions of enjoyment and a love of their sport.

I love the energy in this photo. The position adopted by the photographer adds to its dynamic nature, creating an angle that almost defies gravity and shows a sense of peril for the competitors! The colouring of the image works extremely well, the red popping against the subtle colours of the background. The background showing spectators against the cloudy sky beautifully creates a frame. Overall the image meets the brief perfectly, capturing the competitors focus and the spectators captivation.
