Artist's Comments

Is there any sight more majestic than these winged wonders in full flight...?

Okay, the bird analogy fits, so I can get away with using it. Never mind that the wings are made of metal and at full flight said wings keep these beasts on the ground, rather than soaring above it. Discount, also, that these Falcons come from men and machines, not mummy and daddy birds. ;p

From the front, we have Mark "Frosty" Winterbottom and Jason "Brighty" Bright from Ford Performance Racing; Jason "Bargs" Bargwanna from WPS Racing; and Steve "Junior" Johnson from Dick Johnson Racing.

Now I know it's generally not accepted to have the main subject of an image heading out of the frame, but I quite like the tight crop of this.

What do you think? Please don't hold back in critiquing!




Update 15 December 2007: Replaced image, updating colours, curves, border, watermark and text.

I do like how you've cropped it otherwise, the focus is shifted............. Good work! :hug:

I like the cropping too, having the cars on the left and facing left makes the image seem more tense I think. Nicely done.

I like the over all tone of colour.

Thanks! Yeah, I've now done similar edits to three V8 images in my Gallery. I quite like it, and besides, it helps hide the hideous sight that is Queensland Raceway...

Thanks! As with most of my Oz-based racing stuff on dA, it's V8 Supercars. Final round is this weekend, and championship is on the line...
