Sharp right into...

A Mk2 Escort tackles a tight section during the 2004 Rockingham

Stages rally... This event (held on a very dull, murky and cold day)

was my first attempt at rally photography, so it was a journey into

the unknown - as a result, I'd really appreciate some opinions.

This picture would've been even better if you'd put some movement into it, some action to give a feeling of the speed.

I like the pronounced lean and the obvious rolling evident on the rear tyre wall especially - indicative of a hard cornering effort. Perhaps a tighter crop might have been interesting, or the shot taken more front on might generate more impression of the pace.

I know what you mean about the tighter crop, Rob, and it is a valid point, but I've noticed that rally photographers tend to sompose more loosely than race photographers in order to put the car into context - which is what I did try and do. Perhaps it is down to personal taste... Regarding the angle of view, with most of that area being a live stage, there wasn't that much of a choice of safe places to shoot this corner from. Thanks for the useful comments though - something to bear in mind for next time.
