| This is a great, great capture. It looks like a Picasso painting of a rodeo. Notice how the background is all texture. The horse looks like he's praying. As he kneels into a prone position, the man is forced into a supine position, each being submissive in his own way. The fringe on the cowboy is excessive, but that becomes its own statement (perhaps on the feminine becoming masculine or the masculine becoming feminine or the sublime becoming ridiculous or the ridiculous becoming sublime... as we imagine the frilly cowboy when he is not in the middle of an intense act and mentally compare it to this one who is). I can imagine Picasso indulging himself by painting such an elaborate fringe. Notice how it is chaotically ornamental while the "fringe" of the horse's mane and tale are in perfect synchronization with the overall action. You have captured here what rodeo (and civilization is all about) man trying to evoke the nature he feels separated from and then attempting to dominate it. I think this would be improved by cropping off some of the right, but even so I can't in good conscience give this anything less than a 10. |

Ohmy!!! This is reeeeeeallly awesome! What an amazing position to have stopped the action. I hope the horse wasn't hurt. It looks like he's lost his balance and his face is slamming into the ground.
Wow! |

Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning.
Incredibly successful action shot. The movement, the power, the pain - even the hat falling off. 8 at least. |
