With the rodeo in town, we've had flying Broncos, Bulls and Cowboys!

One of my better images from the bull riding event Saturday. If you think it's hard getting birds to give you the correct head angle with the correct light angle, just try getting these three subjects to do it for you!

Talk about stop dead action. !!!! Incredible capture and the look in the bulls eye and the contorted figure of the rider is amazing. Thanks for sharing this outstanding image Richard .

Whoa!! Good work on a great capture!
I just got back from Tucson--it was raining when I was there. I ran a cactus thorn about an inch and a half into my shin not watching where I was going trying to photography a bird! LOL!
