Cool

My eyes are instantly drawn to the rear tyre rippling becauce of all the power being driven to it!

the image is nice and sharp and the B/W looks good as well nice shot.

I to would like to see the colour version. Good timing,what lens did you use? You look like you were close to the action.
Thanks

The colour version has more detail (on my moniter). great tyre distortion.

Thanks guys

There is always a loss in detail when compressing jpegs for the web especially in b/w since there is less info to start with

Panos very sharp and well composed. I prefer the B&W here. It's a striking image.
cheers

There's some serious grunt there! Seems sharp too... Wonder if it's worth trying just a slight blur on the background? Just thinking out loud...

These things would be a blast to drive

It's a pity there is so much lost detail (at least on my laptop screen here) in the B&W version, as I probably prefer that one over the colour. The colour shows the detail much better however!

Difficult position to do any better on the angle, but this would certainly be better from a more side-on point of view.

That said, good capture, timing is great, and exposure well done.
