Perfect title. Nicely focused image with good DOF. Coming back to bump and comment. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the blurred out bg. I wish his face wasn't soft (non-sharp). Seems like the focal point is off just a tad.

Aiiieeee! Another "equipment" shot. Sorry - seems to be quite a few like this one in the challenge. :-] As a still life type photo it's ok. The white background stands out a bit too much IMO and is really showing the shadows. The lighting (evident on the boots and hat) is a tad harsh and could be diffused some for better effect. All JMO of course. :-) Good luck in the challenge.

Tribute To A Fallen Cowboy

You're missing a tin of chew! :-) In all seriousness...it's an "ok" photo. Technically it's done well but I think the composition is over the top with too many items. I'd lose the flowers, gloves, and twine (should be rope anyway). All JMO of course. :-) Good luck!

Ummm....wouldn't that be a cowGIRL? :-P I like the colortone chosen for this. Works well.

An homage to Sean's 'Just a Good Ol' Boy'

Nicely composed. Lighting is a little hot on the horse and the focal plane is just falling off on the "cowboy's" face (leaving him just a tad soft). Great idea...timing (not midday with strong sunlight) could really make a difference on this. Good luck in the challenge.

A Cowboy's Worst Adversary

A nice capture of an elusive varmit in daylight hours. By itself it's a wonderful image that would fit in many challenges. It fits this one, but a tad thinly IMO (very title dependent). Best of luck in the challenge.

A nice still life photo overall. Good color. I wish the light hadn't fell off of the buckle so quickly.

He Rides The Wild Horses

This is a decent equipment type image. Seems like it could use just a bit more contrast. The sepia is a good choice.

A nice portrait. Seems overly staged and not as authentic as a couple others in the challenge, but still a nice entry overall.
