Bull Rider

Wow!  This is excellent........Great action and with the added expressions of the guys in the background it really talks to me!

Framing, composition and even appeal as a kind of retro all make this one a  winner in my opinion.

Christal, this is a great action shot!

As noted by Alf, the expressions are priceless (even the bull's).  Perfectly timed and excellent in b/w... Mike

Thanks so much for your assessments!  I had such a hard time figuring out which rodeo pictures to load because I took so bloody many of them.  When I was at photo school, one of our first 'assignments' was to attend a small rodeo in Augusta, Montana.  I was kind of dreading it, but it was a hoot!  I loved it!  And it was a great learning experience because there were so many challenges involved.  So it appears I picked a good one, from your reactions.  It was the very things you mentioned that I loved about it....the bull's face and the faces of the onlookers.  Thanks so much!

Excellent! Great timing and the background with the expressions on their faces adds to the tension.

Outstanding action capture Chrystal. The bull looking straight ahead and the expressions of the onlookers really tells a great story. Very well captured.

very good shot

That's a lot of bull!

Love the action and the faces of the spectators.

Nice work Christal.
