 I went to the 6th TransAtlantic Offroad challenge at Klaustur, Iceland this weekend. It's an endurance motocross event, were teams (two per team)of bikers race for six hours in a magnificent landscape. I sat down to try to get a dirt shot for this challenge, and this was the best of the lot. I also had a decent water shot that I was going to enter, but my teammates for DPL convinced me to send this one instead.

Crop and rotate, shadow/highlight, levels(on the biker and the ground), curves(on the biker) and hue/sat.

I really like this photo, i think technically it needs some work, maybe more contrast and work with color but i really reallly like the composition, it is perfect for accentuating the dirt, it is dynamic and has motion. i like it alot

Great capture but postprocessing is sloppy (obvious halo around the bike)
