Whittlesea Rodeo series #1403 Whittlesea Showground

 


He tipped his hat to gravity
it tipped him right back.
The bull declared, "Not on my watch,"
with one spectacular buck.

Dust applauded.
The crowd held its breath.
Courage wore spurs,
and common sense took the day off.

For eight wild seconds,
neither one would yield
one chasing glory,
the other just clearing the field.

  1. Bull riding is typically the last event of a rodeo. This rider looks great so far with his left arm in the air and his heels marking the bull out of the chute. I'm glad to see the rider wearing a helmet and face guard for safety. You caught a great shot with the bull completely airborne.

  6. Your photo is perfect in terms on light and contrast. In addition, there isn't any dust that cover both the rider and the bull.

  8. Una gran toma. El toro levitando en el aire y el vaquero aguantando como puede esos 8 segundos.
