Why are you asking here? That's a helluva shot the way it is!! I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in it being rejected here. It's just one person's opinion, that's all. How could you possibly call...

Chase probably got a good one, but he took the sun side, and you chose the dark side. I think you made the better choice in terms of composition and lighting. I don't know how many frames per second...

I would have loved to capture some crowd scenes along the way, but you have no idea how insane it was. This is US 460 after I got back on the highway from the Blue Ridge shot. Rather than go into...
