I Greg. Well caught just at the right moment frozen in time. You can see the look of anticipation on the rider's face, I think he knows it's going to hurt. You have handled the background well with all distracting elements toned down sufficiently, while still giving a sense of the environment. My only suggestion might be to select the falling rider and the horse and just give them a touch of brightness to lift them a little bit more. Will caught shot   Posted: 09/11/2023 19:15:07

Hi Greg - Your rodeo series has been quite successful overall. In this image, I like how all eyes are on the rider, and you've stopped the action capturing the rider's and the horse's expressions quite well. The lighting is highlighting the image nicely helping keep my eye on the rider. As Tom mentioned, you might brighten things a tad more but I don't find it that far off as is - especially relating to the rider. I might suggest cropping from the top just a bit further down, so that it doesn't appear as if you've decapitated those onlookers in the stands. All in all - good work and nicely captured.   Posted: 09/11/2023 22:24:40

Hi Greg. What a great action shot! You have definitely created a great series. I agree with Tom and Darcy's thoughts on this one, but overall, this is a fantastic rodeo capture. Congrats! Ingrid   Posted: 09/12/2023 13:33:00

Hi Greg,
Your title made me giggle! Love it (and now I can't get that song out of my head - thanks a LOT!)
I agree with the others that it's a great capture, but it could be a tad brighter with a crop off the top to avoid those decapitations that Darcy mentioned.
Terrific capture!
Karen
