I love this shot. Nice use of the sepia tones. Beautiful sharpness on the rope and the guy just looks cool (from his hat to his boots - perfect for the shot). I wish I could see the top of the rope but I'm not complaining. 8

This is a nice image. I like the sepia tone to it and the range is good. The subject is entertaining and fun to look at. Motion has certainly been stopped as required for the challenge. You will probably hear a complaint or two about the shadow on his face. Overall this should do well, but voters can be fickle. Not sure if the subject has enough 'Wow' to break the top 20 - I hope it does. Good luck.

Novel and well-captured. Nice choice of duotones. I might experiment with broadening the tonality, fooling with the duotone curves, or trying on some shadow/highlight changes to see if some of the dark areas can be brought out, just a touch.

OMG that title is horrible, picture is good however it would be better with the entire lasso in frame.
