Awsome capture, William. I love the composition and the look of concentration on the face of the driver. #296403Leanne M.E. Boyd August 18, 2005

Thank you both for looking and for your comments! -Bill #1731476Lori L. Thomas August 18, 2005
Great capture. I love the eyes. Just out of curiosity, did you try cropping it so that the eyes were not in the bullseye position? If you did, why did you decide on this? #1731526William G. Knapp August 18, 2005
Lori, thanks for the comment! No cropping was done with this shot. I delibrately put his eyes in the center of my frame b/c I really wanted to draw attention to the intesity and concentration of each driver as they approach the start line. Thanks for looking! -Bill #1731661Melissa L. Zavadil September 23, 2005
