 This was in a barn at the Del Mar fair (San Diego, CA) last Sunday.

Went back and forth between this and a totally different shot for days. I know parts are blurred, and that's on purpose to capture the struggle between the two (it was not a calm process at all). I have a feeling that the blurring will hurt me in the voting, but I really like how this image puts me back in the moment in a way that the other, more traditionally clean photo did not.

really nice pic. I really like the way you've showed the action blur of the dide and the sheep has remained in sharp focus. Really nice picture. Good job.
