1. Intensity!

The faces of both animal and human.

Very nice shots!

2. Nice collection of images. You did good. The bull riding #2 was perfect timing.

3. A sheep?

[rdking647]

4. yep

they take 5 year old kids and put them on the backs of sheep.... where i grew up they call that child abuse but in texas they call it mutton busting

[talkingmime]

5. It doesn't look like the sheep minds, or needs to be busted for that matter.

7. your shots are so clear ! everything we took at Abilene Rodeo

came out slightly blurry from the speed of the horse's movement
