Linley W- Horse Bucking


The title of my picture is Horse Bucking. I took this picture with my Nikon camera a few weekends ago at a rodeo on Pelham. This was my first time shooting pictures that were in pretty fast motion. I edited this picture by increasing the contrast and saturation. I also made the overall picture brighter and sharpened it more. I made it to where the main focus was the horse. I also added some Nik Collection filters on top of it. This picture could easily be better. I wish it was more focused and less blurry. If it was more focused, then that would have been cool. However, I did fall in love with the motion blur as I was editing this picture.

Wow, I really love how eye-catching this image is. I think the tones and hues of the colors are nice, cohesive, and a complimentary part of the image that accentuate the environment you were in. I think some of the motion blur was nice because it gave the image a fast-paced, frantic feel that people get while watching a rodeo, so nicely done. If there was anything that I would change, I would have adjusted the shutter speed by slightly increasing it. I think having parts of the image in focus and having some of it blurred would of looked really nice. Otherwise, very well done!

This photo is gorgeous! By using a vignette, my eyes went straight to the horse, which in your explanation is exactly what you wanted. I like how you've managed to get the horse's body in motion, but the head is sharp. You did well, and this is a great picture!

I really like this photo, I love rodeos. Ive been to a few in Fort Worth Texas. I like how you got the picture soon as the horse came out of the gate. Its a nice photo.
