Well, since you asked....
You've cropped it too tight to the car. You need more of the track to place the focal point of the car, on the car at the front 1/4 panel.
I also have yet to comprehend the obsession people have with tilting the image 45 degrees. Yes, image tilt is good as it adjusts people perceptions and makes the image stand out. Too much tilt is bad. If you'd given more image and only tilted it 10-15 degrees, you'd hav a far superior picture.
The color of the car blends very easily with the track. making hard to concentrate on the image, perhaps a lighter blue car would have been nice. Not blazing yellow, as that would have created too much contrast between the car and the track.
However, you've done an excellent job of illustrating the drift. The back of the car has a blurred aspect giving the feeling of speed. The front corner of car shows a stillness, which demonstrates the control needed in a drift.
Fix those few aspects I noted above, combine them with the good points you've already shown, and you've got a Photo Comp winning entry.

Obviously, you didn't read the entire post. The last two paragraphs were very positive and supportive.
Relax Smokin, I think you were a bit quick to jump to conclusions.

I noticed the positive at the bottom but most people are pretty sensitive about stuff they like and clearly he likes his supra pic because he posted it up. DA was not being mean but he too deeply critiqued it I myself would have been aggrivated by his reply if it were my pic. I am just looking out for others.

I agree completely with Der Alta. I hate when the car is the only part of the drift picture. It makes me feel like they're just doing donuts in a parking lot, it's WAY more dramatic if I can see the line of smoke following their car, sort of revealing the line they have chosen for that drift. It adds to the dramatic effect and allows us to help make a judgement call on the complexity involved for the drift.
I also hate Supras
Just read Der Alta's post and memorize it, he said a lot more than I could and was a lot more helpful.

I'd also like to point something out, I think that most drift pictures are ruined by the fact the treads are pointing AT the camera. I hate it when people do that.
Why did you buy those beautiful rims only to point them away from the camera?
In my opinion, Rule no.1, never point the treads at the camera.

You are contradicting yourself if you haven't noticed.
DA gave his honest opinion.
And yes, "Everybody is entitled to their own comment..." just like you said.

Thats true, I can say it looks like it is powersliding because we don't know the angle but that countersteer seems really big
I can't put this one in the thread because it isn't drifting but eh comment away

my only advice would be to start a gallery. your pics need to be brightened, and you should make the shutter speed higher. or if you have photoshop take the pic with shutter speed all the wya up and put a motion blur on it in photoshop. and radial blur if it shows your rims.
nice photo!!!
