Nicely done.

What a terrific shot. The bright light at the top left in contrast to the darker lower right suggests the change from the frantic on track energy to the disappointment of retiring to the garage. Lambo's are fast looking just sitting still and you've caught that with the angle of the shot showing the debris splatter on the nose. I'm not sure what the lines are across the windscreen but they add some interesting definition to that area. Yes, I am something of a motor sports fan.

Thanks John and Andrew

This is an oldie from a 24hr race in Dubai - I was quite surprised as a colleague has just ordered a 16"X24" canvas of it. The scene reminded me of screenshots you'd see on Gran Turismo or the like.

Here's #25 running on the first afternoon:



And in the morning 3 hrs before retirement, coming in after a puncture:

nice, it actually manages to make the car look hacked off being out of the race - great shot Phil (i think the lines on the screen are a reflection of the garage door ?)
