Shoulda worn a Seatbelt

British Columbia

Another stylized rodeo image that will not suit
everyone's tastes. I wanted to take it out of the
realm of a photojournalistic record of this event,
to make it more surreal. I'm not sure if I have
succeeded.

This was a local rodeo in 2009. In this event the score
this day was Bulls 8, Cowboys 0.

I decided not to edit the um, undercarriage, I hope
no-one is offended.

An impressive action shot with the movement and the expression of the rider. Great details, the processing works well here.

Tremendous action shot - and the processing in the foreground gives it a comic book feel that film makers are so keen on these days with Sin City etc!! Great photo Peter, undercarraige and all!.BV

it seems things are going sideways for this cowboy...rich portrait of surging power at an electric moment...love that miniature dust storm...V

Hii-hooo! Full of fantastic expressions behind the action...I think the little girl has the coolest look, just above that grazy rider, what a difference! I like your stylizing, not too much nor too little.

Terrific action shot, a frozen moment. Do like the expression of the spectators. V
