Rodeo Cowboys

[Tinstafl]

At a rodeo there are always a couple cowboys to gather up the stock after a ride. This horse took a lot of time to get out of the ring and ran to the far end. The dust and sunset created a dramatic picture.

Nice action shots!

The second is the best as the tractor in the other two detracts from the rodeo feeling.

The third might be the best of you crop out the tractor. The lariat is especially nice.

Wonderful lighting, perfect time of day

Funny you say that but as a tractor owner and user I liked having the tractor in the shot. It shows country and stock work and is on every farm or ranch and in every rodeo to lift bales and to groom the ground. I do understand what you are saying though. I shot it including the tractor on purpose but it is good to get another opinion.

Agreed on the lighting.

That is funny. I have two tractors a green one and an orange one. You do have a point though but I guess I was shooting this to show the work that went into a rodeo. The practicing behind the fence, the tractor for grooming the dirt and the cowboys handling the stock.

Lovely shots very well composed, as said already lighting is perfect for the shots.

Thank you

The backlight 'halos' and dust really make these shots great. I'd crop tighter for composition reasons, but that's probably more of a personal thing. Good stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion
