Taken at the Autocross at Zwaagdijk. It was very windy and the mud and dust from the track was blowing everywhere, so now I'll probably need a new camera and lens :P

That looks fun. Dirty, but fun. :)

Compositionally, it feels that the car is just a bit too centered.I keep wanting to see more to the left. That said, the white car in the background does provide a nice counter-balance to the primary car.

Technically, the focus, exposure, etc. is great. I really like how you have captured the dirt flying, and the blurry background helps to isolate the subject, and keeps it (the background) from being too distracting. I think boosting the colors (especially the yellow) *just a touch* and maybe just a bit of contrast boost, would really help this shot to *pop.*

Overall, nice work, and great action capture.

If I need to further explain myself, or clarify anything I have said, please feel free to contact me.

love the flying dust all around, would be fun riding one of these cars! A closer crop would have worked better imo - 6

A scrunched 'Bug' not at all like the 'Autocross' we have here in the states ... none the less it looks like a ton of fun! I'm a bit lost on what the course might look like but that dirt being launched make me want to try it ... YEAH! Great shot!
