Mutton Buster

Photo by Rob Drake
I took this photo at the sheep riding event during the fair, all the kids are under 6 years old and weigh less than 60 lbs. I like this photo because I was lucky enough to take it right as he fell off. The only adjust made to the photo was the color levels of the photo because I took it with the wrong whit balance setting

This picture is really tight. The shutter speed and the ISO balance is really good. Good eye for getting the picture.

this picture is amazing to me. i love how this kid is falling off (but that sounds really mean and tasteless, but it's true). you really captured the scene perfectly. at first i thought it was a grown man and not a kid. the sheep was the give away that he was a kid, but at first glance i didnt even notice that he it was a sheep he was riding. as for composition pieces lighting is good except on the subject (a little blown out) and good leading lines (the dirt) and great rule of thirds.

Wow! That is a cool picture. I like how you got it right as he fell off. Is that a kid under 6 years old and weigh less than 60 lbs? The kid makes the picture interesting and I like how got the subject focus.

Very awesome action shot. Lighting is perfect and I like how it isn’t centered. The color is very cool as well. Overall nice picture!

I got to say, the color composition and the fact you were lucky enough to get this shot is amazing. I like how it's not completely centered. Gives it something more to me. Overall Rob, very nice work.

This picture is great. It really expresses a good time. I like how you were able to pause the action of this photo so well. Nice work.
