Thanks: Gave 2, Got 2 | Rally Photos - C&C Please
I took some photos at a local Car Rally yesterday. It's the first time I have attempted Speed/Pan shots and I would like some C&C please.
I'm still new at this and am learning all the time, so please go easy on me.
Thanks
Dave 
PS - Not really sure how you attach larger files/photos to the post, hence the attached thumbnails !!!

Can't see much wrong in those Dave.
If being really picky then then main subjects are a tad soft and a touch lacking in pop.
The background blur is fine though, giving a real sense of speed.
I'd also like the cars to be a touch more into the picture.
They seem to be cropped or framed a little tight to the left on some.
Generally really good though.
Hard to believe you still new at it

That one with the yellow car is a cracker! Really like the angle of the motion with the tyres.

I think the 205 stands out. Nice simple composition with room for the car to drive into.
I little unsharp mask, and a tweak of the contrast might help them leap out a bit more.

Yeah I like the 205 too. Nice composition and backgrond. I've never seen a Volvo 205 before.
