    Wonderful action image – did you use orton on this?

    No although I might try the effect. The dust around the horses’ feet is the dust it kicked up while making the turn. I am new to Red Bubble, so I appreciate the comment.

    I would’ve called it slow down! Just kidding! I’m amazed at your excellent photography in this one!

  • Thank you, Leilani. The burst mode on my camera certainly was critical in getting my rodeo shots. Thank heavens for digital.
