DSC_2872-2 by LaSource Images, on FlickrHurtling towards a potential incident at Goodwood Revival RAC TT Celebration race. There is a car pointing backwards in the middle of the melee! I could create a stop motion video of the incident from all the stills
I think it is actually the arena crowds that I find most pleasing about this shot

I'm pretty sure a Nikon D600 doesn't generate native photos at an aspect ratio of 5664x3023 pixels, so I'm guessing it was cropped?
Sincere apologies if I'm wrong, and in any case, it's still a great photo, just I suspect not quite in line with the OP's brief.

Although I may be coming across as a bit pedantic, but the OP added a specific rule this month which was:

Sorry! The first of June flew by....
Thank you all for indulging me with the extra rule. Excellent entries here, which HC-B would have appreciated
Third place to sticks090460 for the hunting shot. I'll bet this looks awesome cropped close enough to see the whites of their eyes.
Second place to LaSource, and not just because I've overcooked it at that exact same place and had to gather it up on the grass (and then got black flagged by the marshals and yelled at by the track day organiser...who when he calmed down grudgingly admitted I'd done well to wait until it was straight before heading back to the tarmac)

A well deserved first to itsallicanafford. The brief by HC-B says take any element out, the picture falls apart. There is a flow to the storytelling in this image, which takes you from person to person to person and round again. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this.
