Your timing is impeccable

Thanks very much, Carlotta. The space behind the box is very limited and it is usually filled with contestants that don't appreciate a photographer crawling around on the ground. I mounted my camera on a metal plate that had a post and a small ball head on it. I fired the shutter with a Pocket Wizard.

The timing on this shot is perfect. Having the lasso and him off the saddle, in perfect center is amazingly hard to do. Everything about this photo is perfectly timed. Amazing shot.
