This is a fun photo overall. Nice capture of the action. Something funny about the bg blur on this in the lower left throwing this off when I view it (can't take my attention away from it). The dirt around the horses forelegs is relatively sharp with a gradual focus fade to the bg fence. On the left it's obvious that a selection was made in that same plane of the image and blurred. Exposure on the cowboy's hat and upper body is blown out a bit. Appears to be some extreme shooting conditions. :) Still...a cool photo nonetheless.

All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice shot James. Love the action, the clarity, the colors and sharpness. I am glad you were able to salvage this with all of the hard drive troubles.

Well, I gave this a 7. Unlike many of the entries, you actually portrayed an extreme emotion. I don't expect everyone to have Hollywood-like props and locations.

Edited to add: now that you know how people treat photos that don't meet professional film quality standards, you can decide whether to bother with this kind of shot again or not. The fact that it doesn't bother me is one point, but scores are based on average feelings, so if that's what matters, you know what to do.

So So Scary- it would be great if the person holding the gun was woman and the bullet holes look more real. But, then again I'm not sure how they are supposed to look.
