Nice bright colors and neat use of shallow DOF.

I'm sure you've already received dozens of comments saying this, but I suppose I'll add my two cents as well: "the horizon's tilted!." :) If that could be corrected, I think this photo would have an even stronger first-impression impact. Those curves, lines, and patterns all add up for a very impressive composition.

Usually I'm all for interesting angles, but in this photo the angle seems to have compromised the composition a little bit. Or perhaps it's the cropping. I don't know, but in any case, she almost appears to be sliding out of the photo. However, I LOVE the colors and the lighting's lovely.

Nice colors! I would suggest adding just a bit more contrast to make those beautiful colors really pop.

Although I personally think this might be stretching it a bit to meet the challenge, I think the photo itself is terrific! I LOVE the motion blur, although I wouldn't be surprised if the voters bomb you for that. I can't ever recall seeing a blurry rodeo photo, which is probably part of why I like this so much. It's unusual and different. The perfectly focused ones have gotten boring! ;)

I personally think this might look nice if it were a little darker and/or had more contrast. I'm not sure how you took this shot though (long exposure?) and perhaps that would be to difficult to achieve.

On my screen, the image quality seems a bit poor... It seems a little grainy and over-saturated. But with that aside this is a very, very beautiful image. The tones and shadows are very rich, and the story this tells is powerful. Lovely capture!
