That totally rocks. Love the dirt flying around. As far as a critique you should check out the posting rules, supply the exif data and ask a specific question about the image that you would like feedback on.

Very nice. I'd like to see a slower shutter speed to show more wheel/car movement. There's quite a bit of CA (chromatic aberration) in the shot, you can correct a lot of that in your post processing. I also noticed the driver is on the right side of the car . . . wasn't expecting that, but I see you're from down under.

Thank you peoples. I am sorry about not supplying any details but am very new here and haven't figured out how to upload all data as required. More study required

Nice shot, like how you got the focus sharp on the driver - didn't have a problem with the driver being on the right since on only across the ditch!
Agree that a slightly slower shutter speed would give some more movement to the wheels and probably the mud as well. Maybe a little PP would bring up the colours a bit also, looks like bright midday sun.
