This picture is a totally winner, in my eyes. It's rare to see such a great exposed action picture. There are so much life in this. Extremely well composed. Outstanding!!!!

Incredible. Where have you been all this time Trey?! I love seeing these ranching images. Nice job. The action captured in this shot is great. No nits from me.

Fantastic! I'll assume this was a set-up until you say otherwise. What an incredible capturing of a moment! The lasso is perfectly positioned, the expressions on the two visible faces. Wow!

Thanks everyone. This was a shot that was planned although the cowboy chose to swing the rope all on his own, which added an element that to me really makes the shot.

I praised this photo earlier :-) Just one question: Do you remember the shutter speed?

Excellent Trey,

What a well planned and executed image. As all have stated, I don't know how this could be better!!

Heck if this had been taken ten years ago I would have expected a cigarette to be hanging out of the cowboy's mouth and this image plastered on a hundred roadside billboards!

Great shot!!
