Steer busting is cruel! Injuries, often fatal, occur far too often in this so called 'sport.' Check out SHARK's article on steer busting at their website to learn more about what PRCA doesn't want the public to know.

Now that my rant is out of the way, great shot. The cowboys and the horse on the right side of the photo frame the fallen steer and the cowboy crouched over him nicely. I don't know if that was on purpose, but it really gives the photograph an interesting overall composition. I like that the focal point is off center.

Lol. I actually sound like I know something about photography. By the way, I cruised your gallery. Interesting stuff. It feels weird, I never ever comment- I'm usually one of those annoying fav ninjas. Good work on the photo.
