Don't see how this is triumphant or successful or anything challenge related. I'm assuming by the title that the guy is flooring it and lifting the front end. No smoke, no motion blur on the wheels - it looks as if the car is just sitting with its front wheels on a stage of some sort.

Yup, you're right it does. But it doesn't matter so much when going in a horizontal line....haha. I like this image, but I think a better vantage point would work a lot better.

This is a pretty cool shot. But wouldn't this be taken toward the beginning of the race? I don't get "Triumph" out of this.

Nice and sharp with good colour but a tad still and uninteresting - Looks like the car is lifting onto a table or is it the wheels just going up?

Maybe a victorious finish would have shown better here. Great capture and sharp too.

I think on DPC a photo of a flower has to be spectacular to do well...there are too many little things in your photo that will bring down your score I'm afraid. Like the main subject blending in with the background petals, right bottom corner distraction and distractions on the left. Typically with a still life you can control all of those distractions by moving the flower around. Speaking of which I'm sure some are voting low because they feel this doesn't meet the qualifications of a still life. With all that being said, I like this photo and the composition and give it a 6. I just wanted to say some things because I figured your score was suffering and I wanted to perhaps help you understand why.
