Hi Karen,
You did right! This bull is definitely something else than all horses! He doesn´t look happy to be ridden this way and the rider sure doesn´t look happy either. A very good capture of them both, with all feet in the air!
Kind regards
Gunnar

That's gotta hurt! I can see the pain in the guys face before he even hit the dirt. Nice shot and make me laugh a bit because I always enjoy seeing the bull win :-) Thanks Karen.

Bonjour, chère Karen,
L'image parle d'elle-même dans cette composition prise sur le vif !
Le rodéo est une activité très particulière, il ne faut pas avoir peur de se casser les os !
L'image est excellente !
Bravo !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Karen!

uuuups! You did very well to post this, it's the one of the series closest to be called a "decisive moment"! Great action shot, great framing and composition, excellent light managment! i hope the poor man is allright!

Hello Karen. A good shot. Accurately realizes in the ideal moment. Worth seeing. Compliment. Regards, Wolfgang.

Well done Karen
You have done a superb job of capturing the action here. Were you shooting in multiple mode or just single shots at a time? Either way there is grat interaction between both men and the bull.
Phil

Hello Karen,
The animal changed, and is even more dangerous. There is not an other exit to only fall heavily. Beautiful realization as usual. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Karen,
Whoa, rough and rugged - we love to watch the bulls but always marvel at the fact there are actually cowboys eager to do the sport - it's gotta be one of the highest risk sports going. Good shot here, Karen. TFs. Gerald

Hi Karen,

What a fall !!! The landing has being painful… Still a very beautiful photograph on these rodeos and good timing in the image which shows us a bull in weightlessness, not common… Beautiful quality of image, Karen cheer.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

You are right to post just this one. It is not the photo which stays in the drawer. The best possible on the subject. Felicitations Karen,

Branko

Hi Karen

Another superb decisive action shot of the bull & cowboy, at the rodeo. Wonderful timing & good sharpness & framing. Tfs!

batalay (20654) 2009-07-05 0:53

Hello Karen,

Last week when I critiqued one of your excellent action shots, it was a bronco buster falling off his horse. Here, I fear the animal is even heavier and more dangerous. Wonderful shot with detail and rich in color.

Warm regards,

Bulent

PixelTerror (85994) 2009-07-05 6:08

Hi Karen
I like them, nice action image where he's about to shout ouch !!!
Have a nice day JY

hispic (7399) 2009-07-05 20:10

Hi Karen,
Excellent capture of the decisive moment! It's funny that the bull doesn't seem to have gotten excited. The dust around the bull's hind legs is truly perfectly captured.
Regards, Hisashi

Hello Karen! Wonderful dynamic scene. Very dangerous scene. Perfect shot. Great effect. Good luck!

Hi Karen,
unusual scene, dangerous moment, good shot. An interesting serie. I like it. TFS

Karen, this is awesome, timing is perfect and your skill as a photographer is up to the challenge, great work.

Hi Karen,
masterfully captured! And composed also! These guys are as crazy as they are fearless... I am from a region where bullfights are serious business and during my youth I was a couple of time in arenas, but I confess I never had the guts to get close to bulls except when they were already under control.
Regards,
José

Angshu (33193) 2009-07-12 21:18

Hello Karen
A good capture with great timing, but would have been painful to the rider. A scene where both the man & beast have all the legs above ground! Good work!
Regards
Angshu

lamentforicarus (385) 2009-08-04 20:10

Superb timing on this shot, Karen. Great sharpness considering the rapid movement of both the bull and the rider. Well done.
