This is my second one that I feel is one of my best. It's from a bull riding event up in Wyoming last March. It was indoors so the white balance was real funky and high iso. Before the event a group of bull riders gathered to pray and I caught this one. I liked having the ambulance in the picture and the horses. This shows something besides the sterotypical drinkin', chewin', cussin' cowboy. These young men will 'yes,sir' 'thank you, sir' no, sir' you all day long. And many - like these have a deep seated religious side. C/C welcome.



I've had a great time on this website this year and enjoyed the challenges. They've forced me to get out the camera more stretch my capabilities, and I've learned a lot just 'listening' to some of the big guns here. Thanks.

My first choice was pretty easy



Second choice was pretty hard

Terry, another good one!

Bill, I remember the daisies... a composition exercise as I recall. Very nice!

Here's my first... taken not long ago. Sunset on Chincoteague Island.

Nice shot, Dane. The wide angle lens perspective pulls you to the center. Good Job.

p.s. - aren't there supposed to be ponies on that island? where are they?

[Grandpa]

We saw the ponies that day, but from a distance. I had a 1.4x TC on a 300mm lens and they were much too far away.

It's great to see everyone's favorites come out in one thread ... wonderful pics so far.

I took this July 7th, 2010 at Castaway Island Preserve near Jacksonville Beach, FL. 7:00am. This is one of my all-time favorites and since I've noticed some others doing it, I too must delve deeper into my folders to find my second choice. Hope you all enjoy this shot!

With Ali as inspiration! Nice catch, Patty.

Love those shallow depth of field shots.

Absolutely Excellent shots so far everyone.

My Two.....just wish there had been some clouds in the sky that day for the first one.

This was me just messing around with some friends but something about it has always captivated me.
