Used 500 shutter speed to freeze car. Used center focus on canon 10d while panning to maintain focus.

I like the shot, but have you tried using a slower shutter speed to show motion? I think it might make the photo more interesting.

Agreed. A slower shutter speed would've blurred the wheels more giving a better impression of motion. That said, it's a good car angle and framing and beautifully sharp. And I think you can safely ignore the 1/1 rating this received. It's just one of the roving idiots we all have to endure.

Pretty much agree with the above. Very sharp but just a little too fast on the shutter speed. Don't worry though, that happens to me all the time to. Just keep shooting.

I love the paint job on the car! Works really well as a photo, plus the car is lovely and sharp. Just a couple of things to pick up on though:

 

1) Shutter speed is too high (as mentioned by Tim and Fred) for this sort of shot - it has a static feel to it. Rule of thumb for a Canon DSLR when panning is 1/200 or slower; 1/125 and 1/180 are nice. Slowing the shutter speed will give you a nice blurred background and a real feeling of speed.

 

2) Framing - this shot would work better if there is more room for the car to move in to i.e. more space on the right of the frame. More trees above the car would be nice too. Framing that isn't so "tight" adds more dynamism to this sort of image.
