    G’day Vonnie,

    And so this should be displayed! It is a great silhouette and has a lot going for it.
    The subject is interesting and unusual as is your approch to the photograph.
    I really like the way you have minimised the black at the bottom so it is not overpowering yet used a lot of negative space at the top.
    The silhouette itself is quite clear and well defined and its contrast with the orange tones is most effective.
    Lovey work and I hope it does well for you.

    INDIANAPOLIS RACEWAY PARK HAS A TRACK FOR EVERY KIND OF RACING.
    EVEN DRAGRACING,ONE OF THE LARGEST MEETS FOR THE NHRA.
    WHAT TRACK IS THIS? IT’S A BEAUTIFUL SHOT! :)

  • Vonnie Murfin replied

    This track is in Indianapolis. I can’t remember the name. It’s the one they use for the dragster.

  • MichaelTravis

    MichaelTravis

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! That’s where they hold the big NHRA meets I think. With
    John Force,Tony Schumacher and many others.Most of the racers just call it Indy,
    But it’s a part of the main park.Where they hold the Indy 500 and the Brickyard for NASCAR
    I think is seperate area.I would have to check myself.I’ve always wanted to make Indy
    It’s a racers dream.You live in a great place for racing.All we have is dirt oval’s around
    home.But my favorite Nascar driver grew up and has a business just 80 miles from me.
    His name is Mark Martin.I met John Force the Champion Funny Car Driver in Dallas.
    He’s really a talker.Have fun my friend.Racing season starts in Feb. OH BOY! CAN’T WAIT! :)

    I thought I commented on this, I know I voted for it, it is one of my favorite silhouettes.

  • Vonnie Murfin replied

    Thank you Charlene! It was taken during a dragster. While I was watching the drag races, I noticed the sun was coming down. So, i kept watching it. When it got to where i wanted it to be, I took the shot. This is one of my favorites too.
