It's dramatic alright, but I don't get a sense of motion. I see the faint flame from the car, but it's lost against the wall of flame. Perhaps a slower shutter would allow the car to blur. Also, your angle cuts off the wheels of the car - unfortunate.It is a good idea, though.

Thanks for the comments Pete. I didn't have much time for framing, angles and shutter speed as the car was going ~350MPH. In fact, I didn't even know the fire was gonna happen. I like the spooked bird at lower left.

AND becauase I can't get a BIRD (nor do I try) in a frame of a picture.

 

Your PLANES got me to look at your pictures. THIS caught my eye because of the RED FIRE!

 

I think it is wonderful how you took this and "I" see the flames and "I" can tell how fast the truck is going. and Personally I feel the motion. So THERE (WINK WINK). :)

this is amazing..i just wonder if the its dodge truck parts didn't get enough damage with that explosion..
