Suck It In
Uploaded: May 11, 2004
I was driving along a back road in TN and came across this rodeo. The bull had thrown this rider and spun back on him to make sure the rider wouldn't bother him again. If that gate wouldn't have had slack in the chain, the bull would have succeeded. I submitted this image early this morning and ran off to work thinking all went well, but it turned out terrible. I've rescanned the image and deleted the other from the contest. Please forgive me.

I didn't think the first one was bad at all, but ok! I love the expressions on the crowd! The shock, the horror! #531680Michael P. Winkler May 12, 2004
Thanks to both of you. Dale Ann, twice you have commented on this shot and I REALLY appreciate it! When I got home and looked at it on the contest site, I don't know ... it just didn't "hit" me like I thought it should have. Soooo ... (lol)Keep Smiling! Michael #532782
