Default Motocross Sunset Shot

hey guys, i took this shot a couple days ago, i really like this shot but i feel that it might be missing something but im not sure exactly what... i really like the way this shot turned out but i think i could have done it a little bit better.
i ran it though photoshop to add a little more saturation and its cropped down quite a bit.
if anyone thinks its missing something feel free to let me know

Other than just being straightened a little (you can see the building in the background is crooked) i really like it. It's quite unique considering the light enters the photo from left to right.
Great job on that shot!

Great shot ... one thing I can mention is a filter or some post processing to remove the UV light.

I like the composition and lighting. I would crop from the left to just past the lens flare and from the top to just below the building. That way you remove the distracting tilted building lines and push the viewer right into the motorcycle rider. I think it will also make the dust cloud really pop.
