    #3 for me. Wow. The look on the horse is priceless.

    thumb.gifthumb Wow - those are beautiful shots!! I just went to one last month - got some decent shots (haven't posted them yet), but I stayed outside the arena. It looks like the rider in #3 just barely missed getting his leg stomped. Amazing how calm he looks - I'd be screaming for a fresh pair of undershorts :D

    Terrific work, Rags. I was recently at a big-time rodeo out in Cody, Wyoming. Your pictures here capture the same intensity and drama as I witnessed there. Well done.clap.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    This cowboy, early 50s; had his wrist tangled and he couldn't get free. He had to undo the saddle as he was getting stomped & took it with him on the dismount. Pretty courageous guy.

    #3 is wonderful. Last is good, but could have been great, perhaps, with a slower shutter speed and panning the horses.

    Thanks for looking in folks & for the comments, much appreciated.

    "Last is good, but could have been great, perhaps, with a slower shutter speed and panning the horses."

    A few years ago when I was finding my way in photography I tried panning in horse racing & polo.

    I found that I lost the horse muscle articulation and I prefer that over the blur.

    Again thanks for taking the time to comment
