CAPTION: Rodeo sure looks fun at the Industry Hills Equestrian Center, City
of Industry, Ca.

CRITIQUE: Nice photo. Makes the "audience" feel like the horse is coming
straight for them because of how close the photographer seems to be to the
horse. Good timing and shutter speed (around 1/1000) because everything
seems to be crisp-clear (excluding tassels, his tie, and strands of the
horse's hair, but the sand seems to be frozen in mid air nicely). Very short
depth of field because everything behind the horse and the guy seems to be
blurry. I like the expression on the cowboy's face...fear, doubt, and hope.
The photographer probably took the shot right when he knew he was going to
fall off because of the angle the guy seems to be on that horse. The rope
thing he's holding along with all the lines on the fences behind him, his
tie, and tassels create for very effective leading lines towards the CVI
(cowboy) and the expression on his face. Exposure and contrast is nice and
even. nothing over or under exposed. overall, nice shot.
