This was a late entry, so it isn't in the poll. I did want to post it here to this thread though.

Thanks anyway Dave.
Freakin' work made me space out on getting entered.
But the other entrants have a chance now.

Too bad that last one isn't included. It's easily the best. I can't believe there were only 4 entries!

Yeah, why only 4 entries??? I guess a lot of the regular photographers were afraid of "dirt" !

OK, photo 1: very nice, but it doesn't say 'dirt' to me.
Photo 2: Yes, dirty, but not very creative.
Photo 3: Nice angle, nice dirt
Photo 4: Car does look dirty, but that is not what stands out from the photo.

So ... it is photo 3 for me.

Maybe the comments above indicate why there were only 4 entries-this was kind of a tough subject as just a dirty MINI will work but is it interesting enough and if you go outside the box-like in photo 1 will that say "dirt" or drive in the country? I also like #5 too bad it was too late for entry-nice compostion-there are so many things going on in that photo it wiould probably be impossible to replicate. I was pretty much baffled to a good entry on this one my self.

I vote for the late entry. Deadlines are overrated - we can even be late on our taxes.

Third's on a write in for pic #5 under "picture deadline extension subparagraph 3, section 4.2". The other's are pretty cool, but #5 is an awesome shot. My question is: who was holding the steering wheel while this picture was being taken?

This was going to be my first time voting, but I don't find any of the official entries appealing. Where's the dirt? Another vote for #5.

Finally, a contest I could have won considering how dirty my MINI always is and I missed it!

I hereby submit my write-in vote for the photo contained in post #2 of this thread. In my opinion, this photo best exemplifies the theme of "dirt".

I plead the "taking care of baby" and "busy at work" defence for not submitting an entry this month.

I think a vote should be considered to allow #5 into the running.
It would get my vote.

Photo is the best! It'd be a dirty shame if it's not the best of the month (late or not).

Thanks for all the kind comments everyone. I keep telling myself that this space-out hasn't cost me money (like late mortgage payment).

Great pictures from all but I am casting a write-in vote for the late entry, photo #5.
If that makes my vote worthless... so be it
