Fellow Flexers...
I have debated showing this picture... it was one of the last from
the Deadmans Creek Rodeo, and it plagued with all sorts of technical
problems. The light is poor, as it was very late in the day, but
things were made worse by the fact that there was so much dust on my
lens that contrast was reduced to almost nothing. As a result, I had
to play with the curves to the point where the shadows blocked up, in
order to get anything remotely looking like a decent shot.
Throw in a background that's far too busy, and you have a recipe for
photographic disaster.
So, why show the shot at all?
Simply because of the bull. He was the nastiest bull I've ever
seen. He threw his rider in a way that I've never seen (see the
picture!) and then attacked first one bull-fighter, then chased the
other out of the arena!
But, it's the spectacular dismount, that saves this shot from the trash.

C&C welcomed, as always.
Cheers!
