Greetings from the Critique Club!
The message
Here is an intrepid racer, braving the elements in pursuit of his sport. The rain is apparent in the general wetness, the trails of water from the car, and the gloomy light. Great title.
Creative choices
Shooting in the rain made for a much more dramatic image than a similar one taken on a nice day would have been, both in the message and the quality of the light. The colors are great; the subject stands out nicely from the background. The motion blur combines with the DOF blur to make the background unobtrusive yet distinguishable enough to give context to the picture. A bit more motion blur would have given an impression of faster speed, but that wasn't the main intent of the photo and a longer exposure would have also made the engine more blurry, so I think the motion blur is just right. The composition is too tight, which makes the photo a bit boring. Some open space to the left would add some excitement, and some space above would provide better balance.
Technical aspects
Panning is well done. Focus and exposure are great. The white balance seems slightly off, giving a very minor color cast. |

| Good job on the color, clarity and blur. Composition is a little static. |

| This is good. The wetness gives it a chilly feel. |

| Another vehicle shot. I dont really know why but you havent really managed to portray speed if that was your intention. Great crisp focus on the (slow?) moving subject pity the weather want a bit better. |

| Could have done with some more empty space around it, and the cart more to the left, to add some more dynamic feeling to it. |

| Nice pan... I think this image would be improved with a wider angle view, but the amount of pan blur in this photo is just about perfect :) = 7 |
