Submit Your Best "Action" Photo

Was thinking 4 at first sight, love the lighting, the sand, the little specs. Really gives something nice to the image. Especially when I spotted the "Holy crap" look of the sidecar rider. It made me laugh!

Well Done, great shot!

But, now I'm starting to look closer.
(and why I went for a 3, it's still an amazing shot! please do not get me wrong)

It is very heavily edited with a lot of things added to it. (Not always a bad thing.)

For example in the specs of of dirt and sand. I can spot duplicates of the specs and patterns that are used. Especially in the areas above the riders.

And the helmets are edited a little heavier than the remaining image and mainly the bodies of the riders. It makes them stand out a bit more to the point where it almost feels like they (and the expressions which really make this image) are stuck on later in photoshop??
Possibly it's real and that's just how it was in camera, it's a little hard to tell, so if I'm wrong about that one, please do tell me to shut up :),
But I do feel they stand out a hair too much compared to the remaining image, so I would have toned them down ever so slightly either way.
