I am awaiting your thoughts on this recent rodeo pic.

Great timing and capture! This gives a real feel for the rodeo!

It's a very good action shot. Especially they way the bull is positioned. For some reason the rider falling off detracts from it somehow, probably because he looks to be in so much pain (or at least he will be in a minute). I would crop the sides even more and make it a vertical shot. It's still impressive none the less.

A great action shot, but I agree with the previous commenter about cropping. By the way, I love the trail of slobber from the bull's mouth :) All the best ~Russell

I don't agree. I like the original. It isn't just the bull and rider. It's the rodeo.

I'm not concentrating so much on technical aspects as much as...how the heck is the rider's (or former rider's) leg in that position? I know they have to be pretty flexible, but that has got to hurt! I think you've caught a very interesting moment here. Freezing this moment like this is great! All that power and energy frozen in a split second, yet it still conveys all of it. Obviously I'm not caught up on the crop. Your focus and your color are right on. Outstanding!
