Rodeo Cowboy


	Rodeo Cowboy Taken at the Greene County Fair rodeo in Xenia, OH. Saturation tweaked afterwards for that 'art print' look, and unneccesary objects were blurred. Katrina McMeans

Love the rusty tones! Great editing here! This image is so cool, well put together. That b/w is very good too, but this is my favorite! Great bootshots too, I'm glad I saw your gallery!

Your effects are simply STUNNING! This image would be perfect in a calendar... I must admit... when you said "unnecessary objects blurred" I had to look twice! :) :)

Katrina,

I love the perspective (who wouldn't?) and also really like the vivid colors and tones combined with the gritty (dirt, dust, etc). My favorite thing about this photo though is the lighting, it highlights all the right spots and draws you in.

Best,
Rachel
