The colours a a bit bright and gaudy for me. Not really sure what they are but they look metalic.

I thought long and hard about the title. Since he does this for a living and I have several shots with the exact same expression I figured it wasn't actually terror. As for distance this was taken about 7ft from the rider. I actually had the camera between the fence. Thanks for all the comments. Also he didn't actually fall from this one.

The first thing that grabs the attention is the distant mounted cowboy, but then I see the close one being bucked. It would have worked much better if you could get the closer one much more in frame.

love that expression ... hope he didn't get hurt ... wish you'd straightened your horizon and boosted your contrast slightly

Nice shot but he doesn't look very excited.

Perhaps the title should have been Pure Terror! I think a tighter crop would have made a better photo - like at the right fore leg of the canopy and just above the mountain tops. The problem with a tighter crop is that your main focus - the rider & his expression - has shadow on his face and may be a tad blurry - hard to tell. What a great capture of the moment.

I don' know if the rider looks all that excited about his imminent fall ;)

Lift and Drag

Comment by pkotsamanes:
Yes the picture was slightly out of focus. Yes I could have done some advanced editing. And the sientific principal I was capturing was flight hence the title "lift and drag" (I could have added gravity and thrust but I thought the title might be a bit long if I did). I could have caught an actual bird in flight (i.e. use one of the other pictures I took this day) I didn't because I personally liked the action behind being out of focus.
