Yes I wanted to get down close but security would not let me for I needed a pass. I could have blown up the image but I would have lost pixels. I thought, now forgive me, but the topic was transitions, thus the burnout and people waiting around for the race to begin.

Not more than a snapshot, to my eye... where's the transition?
04/28/2002 05:46:00 PM
despite a whole host of interesting cars, this has a 'snapshot' feel to me... it needs a more dramatic angle or something. there's a lot of detail and my eye isn't drawn to any one thing.

Up close to the action, this would have been a fun shot.
04/27/2002 08:59:00 PM
Boys and their toys - love the oldies!
04/27/2002 08:57:00 PM
What I wouldn't give for a closer seat...
04/27/2002 04:45:00 PM
It was TRANSITION, not TRANSMISSION. LOL. Nice cars all the same.
04/27/2002 10:53:00 AM
Seems a bit of a tenative link to transitions though.
04/26/2002 09:05:00 AM
There's a little too much "stuff" in this picture for me. If you could have gotten closer to the dragster or to some of the other cars I think it might have been more effective, especially if it were a newer model and older one together.

redneck city
04/25/2002 11:53:00 AM
not sure how this meets transition. Also, there is too much going on to be able to focus on what the shot is about. I almost missed it.
04/24/2002 02:30:00 PM
If the subject of you rphoto is the racing car, then you need to be closer or zoom in more. The cars and the people in the foreground are way too distracting
04/23/2002 11:25:00 PM
Too busy I dont feel it fits the theme
04/23/2002 07:24:00 PM
It's a shame you weren't closer for this, it would have been a tremendously bitching shot to get a tight framed shot of the car and the tire burning out with smoke flying off the back of the shot. Still good though!
04/23/2002 05:57:00 PM
to busy for me.
04/23/2002 04:46:00 PM
This is a little to much like a snapshot. The composition doesn't really emphasize the subject. There's a lot more people watching the car than the car itself.
04/23/2002 04:04:00 PM
Nice idea but the photo is too busy. Might be better if you zoomed in or cropped in on the car
04/23/2002 10:27:00 AM
subject too far away - good idea
04/23/2002 04:43:00 AM
I don't quite see how it fits the challenge....
04/23/2002 03:39:00 AM
not much to do with transitions
04/22/2002 10:14:00 PM
transition this
04/22/2002 08:25:00 PM
You definately needed to be the photographer in the white shirt.
04/22/2002 04:54:00 PM
No appearant subject. If it's the car, it'ss too lost among the other lements of the photo.
04/22/2002 03:59:00 PM
These are some cool cars but I'm not seeing the transition...
04/22/2002 02:54:00 PM
Nice colors!
04/22/2002 01:22:00 PM
not impressed
04/22/2002 10:30:00 AM
would have been a lot nicer if you were closer to the action
04/22/2002 10:22:00 AM
Good idea, would have been better if you could have zoomed in more, the car show, while nice to look at, destracts from the "burn out"
04/22/2002 10:22:00 AM
I love the idea behind it but too much going on in the shot.
04/22/2002 08:13:00 AM
I would have liked to see this a little closer.
04/22/2002 07:52:00 AM
i don't understand what the transition is, friction?
04/22/2002 07:37:00 AM
far too far away to get the real action. You'd need to be by the wall. The transition isn't too strong other than stopped to moving. But 95% of your picture is people standing around.
04/22/2002 07:11:00 AM
I'm not seeing too much transition here.
04/22/2002 07:09:00 AM
get in closer...
04/22/2002 06:01:00 AM
Maybe would have been better if the shot did not include so much extra information
04/22/2002 02:02:00 AM
get in closer
