Hi Richard.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment.
I didn't crop the way you suggest, for a couple of reasons.
1) It would reduce me to about a 5mp image, which is not of sufficient
quality to make a really decent 8x10.
2) Although such a crop does add a bit more visual impact, it is a matter
of taste, and to me the difference is very small, indeed. For me, it's a
matter of also telling the story. The horses are an integral part of
Rodeo. After all, just 800ms earlier, the same cowboy looked like this...

Somehow, it just wouldn't look the same, without the horses!
Thanks for taking the time to look, and to comment.
Cheers!
