Difficult for me to connect this pic with the challenge, other than the title. I other words, on first glance, I don't think "dirt".

Clean macro pic. Good dirt. Too bad there was not something in the raised lettering that would have made a statement of some kind. The yellow brings out the goo very nicely.

Dirt- Nothing More....Nothing Less

I see it rotated one click left, and call it "Dirt Fire". Hard to scale this one as to inches or miles, but it's well done. The shadows make it work.

Today's Special - Dirt Pie w/ a Side of Worms
by aimeethetoo

Comment:
Maybe worms in the whipped cream or pie, and leave off the side would make it simpler and easier to digest. Still a good thought for the contest theme, and lighted well. I'm not quite sure about depth of field. The fork handle sharper would make it more appealing to me. The back elements seem to detract from the bolder graphic elements of the plate, fork, pie, and napkin. It looks like a lot of effort for the effect, and I appreciate that.

Looks like chocolate ice cream. Got a spoon? Cool dirt, nice line, but looks static. It seems to need some kind of action or focal subject beyond the tracks to make it stand out.

A cold, wet, messy looking place. I like the zig zag, and the white/dirt contrast.

Happy feet! I connect with that at a personal level. The smile makes it look real. The color choice is right too.

This is a classy dirtscape. I like the overall light, and the water hilight, motion, and shadow. Color is a plus, not enough dirt a minus. Well done tech however.
