This is my favorite of the "driver in car" shots this year. Compositionally speaking, I'd like to have the wing strut removed from the top, but I don't work like that. But, I liked Tige's concentrated look (it was before a heat race). Aesthetically what I liked is that it's essentially a blue/orange contrast photo.
I like Black & White photography a lot. I don't do so much of it because it takes practice, and a different way of seeing. I see color hues - the trick to B&W is seeing in the tones - shades of gray. Two colors such as red and green may contrast in color, but just be a muddy mess in grayscale. Anyway, I like this photo because it has the human element, without anybody in it. There are car photos and people photos, and car and people. I like an implied subject, one that tells a story without having to be so obvious. I like this in B&W because it boils the subject down to what it is, not confused by the red and orange of the car and lights.
