Hi all, back with something new - my very first go at motorsports photography. I managed to come up with a couple of shots that I feel are worth developing and this is one of them.

Before I touch it though I am really keen to get some advice and feedback on photoshopping techniques that I could/should be using including cropping.

{EDIT} PS - I forgot to add that if you don't agree that it is worth developing further I am happy to hear that, but would like the rationale please ('tis the only way I will learn:-))

My personal feeling is there's too much space on the right. There should be a bit more room to the left of the cars so that they've got somewhere to drive to. Obviously you can't take the shot again, but perhaps you could play with the cropping to reduce this 'squashed in' feeling.

Excellent thanks - do you suggest that I also crop the grass verge from the front or the back? I have played with both and think that the front shoudl stay - your thoughts on this?

I think the grass in the foreground adds a bit of depth, which is nice. How you develop this photo really depends on what you're going for - there are probably a few ways you could do it.
