    Striking sharpness! I feel so bad for the kid in the last -- can't help wondering whether he wants to do this, or whether his parents pushed him into it!

    Those are amazing
    Great faces the riders and the bulls are making.
    I bet that kid feels like a super hero riding that bull. MM

    Thanks for the comments.

    As for the kids, they genuinely seem to enjoy it. Heck, being a "real" cowboy is nearly every little boy's (and some girls) dream.

    It was for me at one time long, long ago.:D

    With the left cropped out across to the saddle, and some fill light on the cowboy, this is a winner! thumb.gif

    These are awesome! (and well I dont just hand out complements like that). These images are sharp, tight and with clean backgrounds! You covered the three basics of sports shooting, plus is Rodeo so that gets me all excited!!!

    Keep up the good shooting!
