Dirt Biking Photo Edits

We are really into dirt biking and we like to take picture of some of the stupid but fun stuff that we do. The only problem is that most of the time its hard to get good pictures with the dust and the lighting when outside. Here is something that I did to make my photos look a little better. Hope it helps you all as well.

Here is the first image that I edited with Picasa, when this picture was taken the sun was going down and the lighting was not the greatest. I added more light with the fill light bar and then I used the auto color button to add some color back into the photo. The last thing that I did was add just a little more light. (top is original)

This is the next photo that I edited, I also used the add light slider first because of the low light levels. Then I saturation to the photo to try and get the color to pop. This photo looked better then the first one that I tried. (top is original)

Here is some other photos that I changed some different lighting to make then look better but still look like a natural photo. That way they don't look like they we edited, having photos that look like they have been edited too much actually tends to look bad and they start to look fake.
