Beautiful and thought-provoking subject. Maybe a little too much underexposed for my taste...

@Alessandro: Thank you, Alessandro. I feel like the photography as well as any art comes from within and reflects how the artist feels. To me there is now right or wrong in levels of exposure, contrast... May be a week ago or next week this image would seam underexposed to me as well, but today it feels just right. But I am very glad to hear the critique.

I remember going on one of these ride when I was a kid, me and my sister were balling our eyes out because it was going too fast. haha.

@Howard F.: I still enjoy it a lot. And my kid who is 3 is a race addict. You should try it sometimes :-)

Don't worry Nataly, I'm not one of those "critics" who value an image based on the Histogram... I understand this is YOUR view of the scene in front of the lenses, and I fully respect it. I was just wondering if some more detail under the car could add something to the already strong image.

Has the atmosphere of one of those dreams you can never leave a finger on, but keeps nagging you through the night and then you forget all about it in the morning. In short, I like it.
