Hey Dan,

Great work, congrats on the 12th place... deserved to score higher...IMO
Perhaps the off-center crop counted against you..

Title is perfect.

This made me laugh when I saw it. My husband used to motocross and several of his friends would actually look like this after a race. Great job!

I thought this was very good and then I read the title and thought it totally added to it. Returning to say this is my favourite in the challenge. Good luck.

Looks like quite the serious racer. Super portrait, perfect for this contest.

Good story, strong, with lots of dirt, good lighting. It might be better if you backed away a touch, as the image is definitely in-your-face, but maybe that's fitting.

The day the dirt hit the fan or a sport-fan. lOts of dirt. I like the peering eye.

Good idea and execution; the title adds a lot to the enjoyment.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Ya! DIRT! I'm looking for real dirt, not "model" dirt. I will say though that I can't quite figure out if the shirt is so dirty it looks like mud, or if it's something else. I may also have been tempted to remove the one splotch over his eye. We like to see eyes in potraits. 7

love that. It's a great saying and a great humorous photo.

I've often looked at jockeys after a race and thought "what a life!". Good shot. I like the way you framed the face.

I really like the potential this one has... I hate that part of the head and face are cropped off (awkwardly). - 6
