    Dig it. But I wish the car filled the frame. I know how that goes, though. When shooting at the track, you can't always get as tight as you'd like.

    Re: more fire & rain

    I can't afford that Canon 800mm they still haven't released
    So I might get the 500mm (so I can carry it!) and 1.4x to go with the 2x.
    But if the car filled the frame there's be no spray behind and no reflection.
    I wouldn't have shot this tight even if I could have done.

    Re: more fire & rain

    I think it's fine - I like seeing more of the scene with the drab, wet surroundings contrasting against the brightly colored car and the fire. Now if I were making a poster, sure, I'd want it tighter on the car.
