Lucky you! I like this shot very much, the air intake draws the eye in and you feel that you want to be there. The lighting is really good. Maybe it's the composition or the subject or both. Tilting the camera is a thought. If it was safe maybe shots on the move would be an idea but only if it was safe to do so.

Thanks mate - I did take some moving, but they were 'hail mary's' - the problem is you can't move in the seats in a lotus

Nice lines, and lighting and composition...a bit distracting though is the lone red dot (side view mirror from another red lotus?) behind the 2nd yellow lotus...but still a nice shot...

Thanks mate - that red 'dot' is the orange lotus behind the Krypton green one

Looking at the picture, I think it would be very easy to take out using the clone tool in Photoshop etc and would improve the shot quite a bit.

Nah - Krypton green - from heaps of tries over 2 days - just does not photograph well with other colours! I have a good 50 shots of the green car, and probably 2 look like it does 'in the wild'!

I have one of about 6 of the cars, and another with about 10, and I had to photoshop it's colour back....
