WOW !
This is the shot!
Thanks. :-) The big trick with Rodeo work is to get a good shot,
with a good pose and a clean background. The problem with most
shots, is that the rails, or the stands, interfere with the clarity
of the shot. Brahma bull riding is a prime example ... most rides
last fewer than 5 seconds (you have to stay on for 8, to get a
score), and so they bulls seldom get any further than a few meters
from the fencing. Even with a long-ish lens and wide aperture, there
is still too much DOF to blur out the backgrounds.
This one shows just what I mean...

It is this rare combination of clean background and good action which
sets the "Wrangler" shot above the rest. I'm very pleased with it,
and I hope Wrangler will be, too!
Good luck with Wrangler, well, they can't be that blind that you'd need any.
Thanks. :-)
