This is my friends daughter. She and a bunch of kids from the neighborhood were playing around in the mud on quads and obviously didn't mind getting a little dirty. But now that the fun is over......

First off, great title for this image.
Second, as with all your B&W conversions, Outstanding!
and Third, this is a very neat composition, great lighting, framing, BG, detail and the pose is perfect.
Nice work . . .

Wonderful evocative photo. Can we remember what it was like to be young?

Thanks Lorna. This would be a good pic for a Tide commercial or perhaps Proctor and Gamble's whole line of cleaning products

Just brilliant!
I hope her house has a 'mud room', otherwise I hope she bypassed Mom all together and jumped straight into the shower clothes and all.

('roll eyes' for Mom and 'jump' for youthful joy.)
Congrats on the Pick for this masterpiece.

Thanks again to all who commented.

Catherine, she was able to bypass mom by staying at one of her muddy friend's house, where they were all treated to a thorough hosing down in the backyard.
