Good catch. I would crop it way down to include just the horse and rider. The audience is just busy and does' help the image.

I was thinking about cropping. Just wondering if it would take away from the movement of the horse and Rider.

Well try both and see how you like it.

I like the audience and think it adds to the scene. It's the rodeo, you need the audience unless it's a practice run. If I were to recommend a crop, it would be only to remove part of the ground, that way the dirt takes up one third of the composition and the rest fills in the other two-thirds of the frame. I rarely impose the rule of thirds in a critique, but for this shot I think it would improve the overall composition of the shot. I would also recommend cropping some off the left side to get rid of that empty spot in the crowd.

Well, at least you've got a lot of extra frame from which to choose. If you try it, remember to use good compositional guidelines so you end up with a better composition. Need hints? Ask.
