I was walking the trail this afternoon when I heard the speaker at the rodeo grounds above the trail. Had to climb the hill and see what was going on. Being a "city" girl as a youngster, never knew much about rodeos. But I gather they were having a team roping competition. Had to stay and shoot through the fence for a few minutes just to see how they did it. Neat fun!
Outstanding action shot! I love that you captured this in black and white. We attended the Calgary Stampede last year, and I shot all my images in color. After seeing yours in black and white, I realize how distracting all the bright colors are in my images. Well done!
@janetb Your analysis is so like my thinking - I had done these in color, but decided to try one in b&w - really liked that it focused your eye on the action so turned quite a few of them to black and white.
@milaniet After admiring your image, I'd now like to convert some of my favorites from the Stampede to black and white. It really does make the action the focus like you said!
Super action shot, the B&W works well with the theme.
