Hi David,
Well all the extra bodies and horse certainly screwed-up what would have
been a super Arial cowboy shot!! :-(
Any time I shot the CALGARY Stampede I was always in fear of this type of
situation spoiling what can be seen here with all the extra bodies. :-(
But then that's life on the rodeo trail.
However you still captured the peak moment!
cheers,
ted

Backgrounds are a big problem in Rodeo photography.
They usually consist of fences (an necessary evil), and remarkably ugly
clutter of trucks, trailers, tractors, horses waiting their turn, and so
forth.
I've always liked the Pritchard Rodeo. It's a small event, but fun, and in
an arena that is backed by tall, stately pine trees. It's just bloody
lovely.
Unfortunately, the fence is there - you can't do much about that - and, in
any rodeo, there is the ever present danger of judges, bull-fighters and
horses getting in the way.
This shot was no exception, but I thought it worth showing, because while
I've seen hundreds of riders come off their bulls, broncs and such, I've
never seen one do it with this much style.

Enjoy!
