I thought my photo would be a bit controversial, and I don't blame people for being against it whatever...The thing is, I've taken loads of photos in an attempt to describe the Nurburgring (most with cars in!) I could have posted a page full of decent pics, but I don't really like it when other people post a page full of pics expecting us to choose one - I think part of the deal should be that you pick one image yourself - even if you change it later, would keep the compo thread neater.
I deliberatley posted my pic without any explanatory text as I wanted to know what people thought of it as a picture. Thank you all who have commented good and bad, in response, I will try to explain what I was trying to do.
I originally wanted a car in the pic, but could not get directly above the track, I wanted a direct overhead shot of a silver merc in the shot but I couldn't get the right angle.
When you go to any circuit race venue, never mind the ring, there can be long periods of time between seeing cars fly past - I simply wished to record the calm before the storm! If you listen hard enough you might be able to hear a car approaching...
As for including a graffiti'd piece of track, if it didn't have any in shot it could be one of a number of tracks - I did want some tree shadow in there - talk about throwing in the kitchen sink! but wasn't practical.
Anyway, I'll shut up now, let's just keep this a fun competition, it's up to the judge's in the end who get's shortlisted - they might hate my photo, but as long as I'm having fun in photomode I don't really care.
Good luck everybody..!
