Description I love it when broncs tear around the arena after they've dumped their rider. This one did so in a very "catch me if you can" sort of way

Hey! I love this photo. It has so much movement and expression in his face! I wanted to draw a head shot of this, but I don't think the picture is large enough for me to extract the amount of detail I need. I was wondering if maybe I could note you my e-mail so you could send me a full-resolution if you have it so that I could use it as a ref? You can take a look at my page to see I'm a legit graphite artist and I give credit where credit is due. I promise I won't steal!

Wow, from this angle, it looks as if he's coming straight for you! o_o Very nice shot!
His feet are in good condition too, or at least it seems that way. All the broncs I've seen have really poor hooves...all cracked and too long. It's kinda sad.

yah I've seen a bunch of broncs who need work on their feet I've been really pleased with the condition of Flying Diamond horses, all fat and glossy and well cared for

oh wow. this picture is really impressive. Its pretty detailed to say the least. you must have an amazing camera to get a shot like that. I love the faces too, its comical how frightened people can be when they have so few bars between the animals they watch. Did the cowboy get dumped that bad?

Haha. well in either case, i do some photoshoping and i was wondering if i might craft a character off of him, send you the pic, and send you the url of when it is used? you do not find many movement pics like this anymore these days.

I dont mind it being used in a photo-manipulation, however right now I would rather derivatives of my work not be used on websites other than deviantart. Works are easier for me to keep an eye on if they stay on this main site. I am slightly over paranoid after the recent image theft I've dealt with.

perhaps I can give you the name of the character, the site i use it, and the predominant boards that you can locate it on?

i dont mean to be a bother, im just a simple personalizer. [it'd be for myself.]

well, I suppose we can give it a try. You'll just have to keep a close eye on it to make sure no one else is using it, only you have permission. You can note me with the rest of the info.

lol yah I always love looking at people in the crowd. I have one shot where a bull is pacing the fence and theres a little boy behind him who looks very worried...or when a bull rider is getting stomped, crowd captions :"Ohh!!" "Ouch!" "Gasp!" hehe I laugh at them

We went to a rodeo once, in the Northern Territory, and it was quite funny to see people poking the lenses of their cameras, then squeal and fall backwards when a bucking bronco smashes against the fence. Mean, but funny.

haha yah laugh it up That was so me that weekend. Although I laugh at other photographers misfortune. At one event I was at the photographer was chimping (looking at the pics he just took on the digital screen) the only thing was the bronc was still in the arena! He came this close to getting run over.....I laughed a lot
