Judge Comment:
Getting a photo of a cowboy flying off a horse is not difficult, getting a shot like this is outstanding because of the position of the horse, face of the cowboy is clear and the flying rope in the middle fillis the frame with action
Competition Comment:
Community Newspaper photographers take hundreds of shots each sporting even they cover, finding the right one for the paper that jumps off the page is often clear to the photographer. These entries show a lot of great sports photos with action and emotion. The best shots come from prepared photographers who know where the light is coming from and how to position themselves and anticipate what is about to happen.
