The car is flying out of the frame – and some may say the composition is off – I feel in this particular case it works. Although I’d still crop tighter – getting rid of the parts to the right and the top – the objects there are a bit distracting for me.

Nice capture. The composition is mostly empty though, which makes it much less strong.

Nice capture! This was at some show at Disney World, right? I wasn't able to get anything like this when I saw it. I think you could have left a bit more of the bottom of the picture in (especially the bottom left) to make the car and flames more the center of attention.

Lots of fire here. A cool looking picture, but as a competition entry, there is really no composition to it. I doubt you had any control over the vantage point, however.

How did you get this picture?
Explain ?

haha! I know where this is. Nice captue, no blur, but I wish the car was further into the photo instead of on the edge.

lots of action going on in this picture

too many subjects and the action doesn't seem to be the focal point somehow? Maybe explaining would help but the photo on its own doesnt explain as much as it maybe could.

I think many will ask if it's composed from several shots, I'll come back and check the answer and vote for it as a single expo picture. The explosions are pretty, the car is composed well to strenghten the uneasy feeling, but the result still misses something, maybe a dramatic touch in PP.

Is this on a movie set?

ha! Ive been there. Thats MGM studios. Thats a hard shot to get. I know I tried it when I was there about three weeks ago. :)

Cool shot, or should I say hot shot. Wish the car was entering the scene and not leaving it though.

Limited time frame to get the perfect shot and so this carries a relatively high difficulty. However, if only the red car was placed more in the frame, ideally a third in from the right (with room to move into the left hand side) just going over the flames would have been great to see. You have a fairly complex, irrelevent and distracting background, a tighter crop on the red car and the flames would have made for a more simple and dramatic shot
