Amazing energy captured here.

Fantastic capture. Love the fact that neither one is on the ground. Of course, by virtue of size, the cowboy is in a bigger pickle...

Nice catch but I'm not crazy about what seems to be burning in at the top of the frame. It pulls the subject, and thus my eye, away from the central focal point. A tighter crop might have allieviated this problem.

Greg: Yes the background was signifigantly altered as I found it to be busy in the original and I wanted to isolate the subject. Apparently I got "a little heavy-handed" about it :-)

Great sharp frozen moment!

The moments you caught are great but I have a problem with the idea of altering the content of the pictures. I can understand cropping and I can understand altering colors a little, but when it comes to altering objects in the picture, it really means to me that something was taken away from the real capture of the image, and that makes it a little sad.

Sal; the alterations to the background were/was a matter of tonal adjustments to make it darker and "drop out", not actual repacement of objects. Thanks for looking and making the time to comment.

Wayne, your rodeo photos are terrific. This is my favourite - it's simply a super action shot. Good job!

Just what Lex said. And this time it's framed with some space all around. What more to ask for...? Very good.
