We've seen lots of rodeo photos and were disinclined to award 1st place to one, but my goodness, this rodeo shot is great! The combo of the light and the action are amazing - probably our favorite photo from the entire region in all categories - bravo! The second-place winner was executed really well with great expression, wonderful light and a really clean background. Third was a moment we've seen before, but the hair made it rise (no pun intended) to the top.
