 This is my brother driving our home-made gocart on a field not far away from where I live.
I have some other shots where the composition is better, but this the only one that is really sharp.

I used a Hoya NDx8 filter to get the slow shutter.

Brightened up with levels and added some contrast with curves.
Unsharp mask.

Thanks for looking/voting.

The figure is too small relative to the background, particularly since the background is so motion-blurred. Motion blurred background is a great idea for showing action, but it should not dominate the picture as it does here.

Really, really neat...though perhaps if the subject was a little closer and larger it would make a better picture.

That looks fun but the darkening in the corners takes away from the photo.
