Oops, the bull HAS no horns. Great picture, though.

So-to-speak. Or take the rough with the smooth.

but he doesn't have the bull by the horns; wouldn't this need to be a picture of steer wrestling in order to fit the title? Very good pic though...

Wow! THIS is a fun, cool photo. I love the dead-on stop action motion of the bull, complete with dust kicking up around his hooves. Impressively sharp considering the fast motion of your subjects! I just love it!!!

I'm sure I'm not the first to say it- but a faster shutter speed would have done wonders here

Good choice of subject to fit the cliche perfectly. The rider, and even the bull blend too much with the background to emphasize them as the focal point. I find myself looking more at the onlookers.
