Go to the rodeo and admire the courage and athleticism of these cowboys while you can. Sooner or later the SPCA will make it impossible to see.

You have to admire them, they are maybe some of the best athletes.

Could have been a great photo...but the cut off heads (horse & cowboy) just don't cut it. Sorry, that's just the way I see it.

You may be right. I think that it sens more attention to the cowboy on the steer.
But maybe that is because I took it.

This shot is very exciting and you can see all of the muscle tone in the Horse's hind quarter and the dirt flying everywhere as the wrangler tackles the calf. Nice Job.

Your comment sounds like something a photo contest judge at a county fair might make. I am a retired daily newspaper photo editor and I would run it four columns wide without a single concern about the missing heads. It is a fine action shot. It could have been cropped to show only the wrangler and the animal, but I feel the other horse and rider add excitement and context, if not purity of image. It was not, afterall, a posed shot.
