Re: A couple more from the Rodeo
The second shot is awesome. The position in which you caught animal and rider really shows the struggle being waged on both there faces. Then there's the interesting bookends of the two cowboy hats in the BG on either side of the rider. Plus a bit of humor/irony that you captured the cell phone presumably taking video from the opposite angle of your camera. Nicely done.

Definitely taking video with the cellphone.

Scoring is based on the actions of both animal and rider. If they don't get good grades they don't get included in future events. At the top level, the rider actually can select a particular bronc or bull because they don't want to get knocked out of the national point counts by a bad animal.

Re: A couple more from the Rodeo
I once enjoyed rodeos however, now I am of the opinion that a rodeo, like horse and gray hound racing is taking advantage of defenseless animals for the enjoyment of humans...

Re: A couple more from the Rodeo
I love #1 for the enjoyment of both the animal and the rider with what they are both doing. Yeehaaaa!!!
#2 was nicely caught. Excellent shots both -- I can almost smell the dirt from here...
