Nice capture. Even at this small JPEG size, it looks just a little
soft. Maybe the shutter speed? I don't know. Maybe just needs
a little USM after resizing?

I think this is GREAT subject matter. Fantastic world of
possibilities.  Horses are so  beautiful, and people falling on
their asses are so dramatic. Really!  It's so macho. It feels
so American, but also so very remote at the same time.

If one were a) allowed and b) so very foolish, I'd wager that
getting up close and personal to this action with a nice ~24-28mm
lens would yield some really spectacular and unique pics. Just
a random thought.

p.s. The only rodeo I've attended was in Laramie probably around
1980 or so. There was a tornado coming, the sky was all marbled
and greenish, and we were all scared stiff; Dad driving on those
long, long roads between nowhere and somewhere.  So we chilled
in Laramie for a day or two and caught a rodeo before moving on.
