    Youth Rodeo

    I can't think of anywhere I would rather be on a weekend than in the arena with the kids. Doing what I love and sometimes making money at it - - how cool is that.

    The action in these is fantastic. With my limited knowledge of these events I would think that 2 and 3 were caught a the perfect time. Both these image could be improved with a very small amount of post processing. With a little work both would go from good to excellent in a hurry. My other suggestion is to decrease your depth of field a little. The in focus backgrounds detract a little from the effectiveness of the images. All in all very nice and I'm looking forward to seeing more of these.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    I love the look of the bull in the first picture. He almost has the look of "oh no, is he okay?" on his face. Classic.

    Thanks for the comments. I will work on the post processing of these before I print them.

    The first picture is my youngest grandson. He has a nice bruise on his leg, but can't wait to ride again.
