Gritty Adventure Photography

I like this as an abstract, there's movement, there's some hints at a subject, but other than that I really have no idea what's going on here. The goggles lead me to think there's a motor sport of some kind.

I'm surprised by this image. The lady who's on the horse looks really happy and composed. Not knowing much about Rodeo, I'm left wondering if she's falling off the horse or is hanging out there as part of a show? Either way, love the sharpness, the color and the action, really well captured. Cheers!

Wow! Love the detail, sharpness, contrast, lighting, and composition. This is an A+ image. Also I like that the background is clean of other photographers/people, love this one. We'll consider it for sure! Strong work!

Whoa! Exploration! Love this one! Lots of things to imagine from this image. What's on the other side? Is the person featured a male or female (I see from the caption it's a woman) but hard to tell from this. I enjoyed this one, thanks for the submission!

I like this. We get a sense of place as its a wide angle shot, also we know who the main character is, and there's some dirt involved. Also really nice colors and i'm intrigued by the castle near the sea cliffs, is that the destination for the hike? Solid work.

Love how sharp this is, and the clean, uncluttered out of focus background. It looks like this fellow is front-crawling through a muddy water? That's so gross! Also interesting details like the necklace and the sheet of dirty water coming off the fellow's shirt sleeve But great shot. Also really like the lighting. Cheers!

I like this as a portrait. I'm left wondering where the subject is headed. Its obvious hes' in mountain landscape, and in the outdoors, which gives us a sense of place. Also seems like it may be kinda cold. Good work.

I like the use of leading lines in this composition, led by the fellow's foot and the cracks in the sidewalk. Also really like the textures of the clothes/grit, and the fellow on the left's beard. Good use of B+W coloring also. Cheers!

Now that's a tough place to work! That's some deep mud, and I imagine from looking at this image the fellow is down there is working on getting the vehicle out of the mud. The image is a bit out of focus, which in this case puts it as a tough option against the competition, but thanks for submitting this!

Whoa, now that's deep mud. Not sure I've seen an ATV get into that kinda mud before. Technically though, this photo has some issues, seems like it may be over sharpened or interpolated. I'll consider it, but if you have a cleaner version feel free to upload that too.

Now that's alot of dust. Like the movement suggested by the dust and the use of the rule of thirds. Seems like it may be a little out of focus, is that just me? Solid work either way. Keep it up!

Doesn't look like this car is coming out any time soon! Like this shot. Has an interesting color pallet and textures. Thanks for the entry, I'll consider it. Just out of curiosity, how long has this car been there? I'm curious.

Like the detail of the flying dust, the background is super clean and helps isolate the main subject and the action is well captured! Also I enjoy the color palate here, and the contrast/color isolation given by the red colored shirt. Considering this one, thanks for the submission!

Fantastic capture. Love how all three of the riders were caught in the air. Good use of a long lens. But they arn't dirty enough! I think the coloring works well here, suggests a dusty and dry day. Fantastic capture though, and thanks for the submission.

There's quite a few submissions here that have to do with cars and mud, but this one stands out. I like how its not immediately obvious or important where this photo was taken, or what type of car it is. I mean, I can tell its a truck, but not immediately obvious what model/make. In a way, it works as a generic offroading/muddy shot. Also the flying mud suggests a fast action. Really good capture!

I like the use of leading lines, the track that disapears on the edge of the horizon. I also get the idea from some of the elements of the photo here that this is a real adventure: the backpack and boxes on the side of the motorbike, the foot prints nearing the end of the track. Also good use of rule of thirds, and soft lighting (maybe morning or end of day?) really great shot.

Fantastic portrait. The detail/clarity is incredible, and you can tell this fellow has been having a muddy day! The only suggestion I have to improve this type of shot in the future, is I think the image could benefit with more space on the right, as the subject is looking off to the right. Some folks call it the "rule of space" Really great shot though, and thanks for the submission!

Really beautiful shot. Great use of the rule of thirds, good use of B+W. There's a story behind this image, and I love when I see photos in inclement weather. The only hangup here, is its not dirty enough! Thanks for the submission, and have a great day!

This is incredible. There's so much stuff on this guys face, I'm impressed it didn't go into his eyes! Moss, mud, dirt, yikes, that's impressive. This works well as a portrait. Thanks for the submission and have a great day!

Ooooo I like this one. Love the landscape, the colors and the activity looks really fun. Sand, sky, light, shadow, its a great shot. Also personally a fan of cool lens flares. Thanks for the submission, I enjoyed this one! Have a great day!

Beautiful shot. Love the various layers of foreground, subject and background. The light is incredible, the colors and the composition. So much good detail/textures and focus. This is a really great photo. Congrats, and thanks for the submission! Love this one!

Fantastic capture. I've been in India during these celebrations, and its quite the event to witness. I love the colors and the people's expressions and the fellow who seems to be walking into the fireworks. Thanks for the submission and have a great day!
