Photo competition entry...

Not sure if this is the best place for it but here goes...

I am looking at entering one of the following photos into a motorsport photography competition,

Here is a quote from the judge - " I will not only be looking for technical excellence i.e sharp, correct exposure and so on, but also creative flair. I will be looking for photographs that capture the atmosphere of rallying, be it a rain soaked Sunday on Epynt to a blazing hot day in south Wales. The winning shot may not necessarily contain a rally car, as long as it is connected to rallying then it will be considered; this could mean a shot of a driver, the crowd etc. I want people to really push the boat out this year and think outside the box."

Here are the photos im considering...

Last one for me! Shows the stick with it attitude! Great colors..sharp..I like this one.

The third one is awesome but in my opinion you're not really paying much attention to the judge's comments. Although I think all three shots are very good, none of them is particularly creative or out-of-the-box.

the first two.. the exposure is a bit off.. that is why most of the people like number 3.. i like number 2 or number 3.. you might be able to adjust number 2.. to make it a little stronger..

agree with this.

#1 is common
#2 lacks context
#3 shows more of what it's about, but it's not outside the box.

Would like to have seen a breakdown with the anguish on the driver's face.
