2nd one is that bit sharper and has better colour, though I prefer the overall look of the first one...

For a website the 2nd one should go on as its technically better thumbup

That's exactly the conclusion I came to after seeing them side by side here.

Had it been as sharp as the first I'd have reworked it but... it's the loser

The 2nd image is sharper and the colours a little more saturated but I really prefer the composition of the 1st one - it really places the car at a race track.

I go with the first shot as its a much nicer composition.. Ive just had a 30 second play with it in DPP by sharpening it up.. upping the contrast and knocking back the brightness.. and it cleans up ok.. not perfect but as you are only putting them up as small pictures on your website..

Having said that... if you have an option to view at a bigger size that I missed.. or are looking to sell the picture.. go with the second smile

Needs a gentle S curve though IMHO.

Yup looks better than the first, only thing that would bug me compared to the other is the Michelin sticker on the left and the lettering on the front splitter are still nowhere near as sharp as the second photo...

Also on the 2nd photo might be an idea to rotate it just a degree or so so its dead level....

still think number 2 as it is technically better than number 1 but 1 looks better in it's composition.

guess I disagree a little and as to rotating the 2nd I think it would lose the action feel all together

I like number 1, even if it isn't as sharp.

number 2 gets my vote - you can see more heat haze coming from the sides of the wheels
