Enjoy the Rodeo

I'm fairly certain the bull rider was not enjoying things too much at the moment. Even though his hand was caught in the rope for a second or two, it did release and he escaped unharmed. Taken with a D4, 150-600 at 500, f/6.3, 1/500, -2/3 EC and Auto ISO at 2200. Richard

Ouch......out of my wheelhouse I'm afraid. Although I've done plenty of crazy things in my life.

An excellent action shot even down to the stop take of the bull's slobber flowing all over. Well done, Richard.

Ouch is right! Those riders must have strong bones and can't blame the bull for trying to stomp the $#@% out of the riders. Nice image of the action!

Nice wild ride, or drag Richard. Snotty bull seems to be enjoying it too. Great action shot.
