Bronco Bustin'

I would have preferred that the other rider not have been so close,

and for less clutter in the background, but I did like the pose of

horse & rider. Comment/critique welcome

I agree that this picture would be improved without the other rider and ads in the background. But the radial blur you added to the background does a lot to address the distraction. Plus, I literally feel a bit dizzy from looking at its effects which is perfect given the subject!

By the way, may you can apply a Gaussian blur to the ads before the radial blur that will reduce their impact. After having applied the radial blur, it would be unlikely that anyone would notice that part of the frame was Gaussian blurred and that it wasn't an effect of depth-of-field.

Anyway, terrific shot!
