Lowes Motor Speedway

I really like the way that the extreme wide angle turns a line into a long, smooth curve -- it seems like a technique that could be applied with striking results elsewhere.

In the context of *this* photo, I wonder if cropping it down to zero in on the area of interest (which to me is the stands) would give the photo more punch? I'd particularly like to trim off the track at the bottom since it seems both slightly out of focus at either end of the track as you get towards the edge of the lens, and there doesn't seem to be as much of interest going on as there is in the curvature of the stands.

Nice use of wide angle. I see what John is saying and I find myself wanting to see a crop just for the sake of it.

Excellent photo.
