Motorsports

This was a VERY close second. I know the difficulty of panning something that is accelerating that quickly, and you absolutely nailed it. Like my personal pick for first, this checks off everything I asked for in the brief. Great photo.

Looks like a pretty awesome truck in the background, but for me, the most powerful part of this photo is what is focus... the boy. The family involvement has been one of the great things about motorsports photography, and you did an amazing job of capturing it here.

There's no flames coming out the exhaust. That's as close as I can come to an issue with the photo. Since I didn't ask for flames in the brief, I won't hold it against you. It perfectly checks off everything I asked for.
