More than 30 views, no comments? They're bad or what?

Here's a few more then...
Coulthard's Red Bull, 3rd on the podium (notice the left front tyre is quite used)


Kovalainen finished in the top 10


A towing guy happy for Kubica



Part of the press room (the one for journalists, no photographers there)

to be honest, nothing really jumped out at me. Compositions aren't very "focused" ... too tight on most and very busy backgrounds on others. Like I said... nothing really jumped out.

PS: What's up with the watermark? Little over-the-top, don't you think?

Comments are comments, and I'd rather have this than nothing, it's great motivation for doing better next time.

Your honesty his well appreciated John, thx for taking the time to put in words your real thoughts!

Humm, maybe for forums yes but I do not take the time to do an extra copy of the the original for forums.

Beside, I love my logo and my "transparent" Flagworld.com

To me, that's over the top: http://www.motorsport.com/photos/pop...an-xp-1180.jpg

I personally like the tight shots of the drivers, a wheel and some hands... but I think a lot of these are missing the blur and pan of tires and backgrounds...

I am obviously no expert - but I look at a lot of photos - and these don't really do the motion and speed justice...

I hope everytime I get out there to shoot I do that - sometimes I fail - sometimes I succeed - these images are nice - but I'd prefer to be moved by the spririt thats there...

I forgot to mention, the other good thing a pan can do is blur the heck out of those chainlink backgrounds...

This helps remove the distraction they are ..

There's not a whole lot that says "Circuit Gilles Villeneuve" to me in these, like JT said they're very tight, and I guess I'd like something that creates more of a setting and tells more of a story with the photo series, just my humble .02.

Also, the photo at the start of the post of the Honda is Barrichello, not Button.

Oups your right, yellow camera, 17
Thank you for your comments people

A bit of explanation, I was not anaccredtited photographer but a track worker, I did the black flag and meatball at the hairpin. all the shots are from the hairpin (indide / outside of the track).

A friend took these:



I only had one body/lens, only had a few spots I could manage to take pictures from and not a whole lot of time.

Still I think I managed a few good shots
