Wow! That is some nice sharp focus going on especially for an action shot. Kudos.

Cool shot! You needn't have added the thin grey line to the frame there. It's a tight crop there at the top. So the rope didnt touch the frame, just black would've given off the right illusion of some extra space since the top part is already darkened.

This is a nice shot. I think if this were taken from a lower angle (for example at the horse's shoulder) it would have been more powerful. I also know that may not have been possible.

Great action...the color and clarity on the roping are outstanding. The PP blur on the stands seem a little rough though, but still a top notch photo!

Great action shot. Nice clear photo. Would love to see a little more negative space above the lasso.

WOW - what an amazing capture - I LOVE the rope sphere off to the left - just wish it had a 'teeny' bit more space before the framing up there.
