Looks like you already know your "mistakes".
Your previous entry is better, but has too much noise. Composition doesn't work for me. It would be better if you have placed car in a different place, at right for example. You tried to isolate object but all this patterns on the surface don't help you. They distract us from the main object,imo.
The most bright place of the shot is in centre. If the most bright place was the place where stands your car it would be much better.
Think you can reshoot this with better results. 👍

Nice looking car. 👍 I think you cropped it too much. It lacks the space above the car and car is too close to the edges. Also think that picture lacks dynamics. Maybe if shot was made at another place of track 💡

Sorry for my English guys and thanks for participating

Thought I stood a pretty good chance making the poll.Any feedback as to why I didn't? I'm learning, so I would like to know where I need improvement.

Nevermind GPR just took the lead back again .

Hope you will not lose your interest Keep it up and you'll succeed 👍
1. Jaggies . It's more PD's fault than yours but it's 2.0 competition and there are a lot of tutorials here where you can learn how to clean your pictures.

These tutorials are really helpful.

2. Editing. It's little bit strange. There are too much of green/yellow tones and too much contrast. You've lost a lot of details in shadows. Be more careful with curves/contrast/other adjustment tools.

Could I please have some feedback on my entry? Thanks

Actually, it's a good shot 👍👍👍 I would choose the point of view that is liiitle bit closer to the car and another focal lenght (~16-28mm). This will add dynamics, because motion blur will be stronger. Plus it gives you more freedom in finding interesting composition.

Sorry for my english again. Hope everything is clear, because some sentences were translated using google translator.
