Down and Dirty

Thanks for looking, extra for comments!

nothing like mud flying all around!

Way to freeze the action !

Now that's a rodeo shot, nice grab.

on further viewing, i'd like to see the saturation cranked up just a tad. the steer's coat to me needs to be a bit brighter. that would give a bit more contrast to the mud that is in front of the body of the steer. of course, this could just be my LCD monitor ;)

Great Capture.. Well Done!!

Perfect shot

Hi Wayne. I'm fascinated by the concept that the mud seems to be going everywhere, but, al least for an instant, that white hat is almost pristine. mp

Really a great capture

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Asim: agree that more saturation would make the calf stand out more, but it would, IMO, be noticeably inconsistent with the reality of a grey, rainy day.

Malcolm: the mud splash hasn't had a chance to hit anything ...YET

the picture it is not real...the dirty balls are flying artificial around the man, he is too clean...

I think the last comment is one of the dumbiest I ever read on the net...very good capture!

Awesome capture. What a great action shot. Great composition. The white hat draws me right in to the main part of the action. Super work.

More like real-life roping--nothing sanitized here.

Great presentation of the energy and athleticism that's involved. Feel like I need to clean my monitor. I like this a lot.
