| I like the geometry of the shot. Considering the heat and risk to life, limb, and camera, I reckon you got short-changed in the challenge! But at least you managed to maintain a sense of humour ;-) |

Greetings from the Critique Club!
Composition: I think the composition of this photo is pretty good. There are only a few improvements that I can see. The biggest thing that I notice (which is actually pretty small) is that I would like to have the enter image shifted up slightly. Then the flags at the top wouldn't be cropped off, and the edge of the crowd at the bottom would be cropped off (so the eye isn't distracted by that small edge). I like how the cars are almost directly on the lower right rule of third intersection point. Did you consider entering a shot from sometime during the race so one could see the race in action? But maybe the lack of them racing fits your title better, I don't know.
Technical: My main complaint on the technical side is that the crowd does look slightly blue. A bit of color balancing would have helped this out. I like the clarity of the image though; almost everything in this image is very visible. The sharpness of the image helps with this as well.
Overall: I don't think the scene is too busy. The starting line is an obvious focal point and the rest of the scene helps move the eye around it. It's true that there are a lot of elements in this photo, but there is also enough dead space to even it out. This image does an excellent job of showing the overall scene. Having the cars in motion may be another interesting element to consider, but still looks good as it is.

| This picture is just too busy. There are too many things for the eyes to see and not one focal point for the viewer to rest their eye on and look upon. I think the picture would be much improved if you composed it to center more on the action happening on the road. We would get to see more of the action and just what "It" the mass on the road is "doing". As it stands here, it is just a faraway jumbled mass lost in the massively large crowd of spectators. |

| a loooots of people will be watching us. Not what I imagined while listening to the song but why not, a different approach. |

..and no one is watching, right? ;)
The crowd is a bit too blue, and I would crop out the fence showing along the bottom left border to imply more spectators just out of frame, but not a bad photo overall. |

| This picture gives me a better view and feel for the 500 than I have ever seen before. Having never been there, I am really enjoying this. |
