1. Excellent as always

and I'm liking the processing more and more. It really suits these shots.

2. Thanks JeffR!

It helps since the lighting is marginal and my lens isn't quite up to the task (my usual rental lens was out).

3. That first one is a fantastic image. The glove is what first caught my eye.

4. Thank you Alfredo!

I always enjoy learning what draws people's eye.

5. You can sense the dust in the air.

6. So did you find any surprises when you looked at

your photos?
I like these and am thinking it no fair you got close enough for that hand shot when I had a cousin that worked for them. Then I remembered that when we were close enough for me to get shots like that I was being intro'd to riders, bosses etc and/or the grandson was being intro'd to riders, bosses etc and I got photos of that instead. I'll have to dig some of mine up someday.


Surprises, at one of the PBR events in Philly (I think) a rider was thrown. He had to get help getting up and out since his leg wasn't working well. Got home and when going through photos saw his pants were ripped. Zoomed in and could see bone jutting out of the bloody rip. He had broken his femur, not sure how he ever stood up to hobble out of the ruing.
