The bull and rider are not edited in any way (other than levels/clarity, that sort of stuff) - and it's a boy/man, not a girl ;-P
I only edited the BG. The light was pretty much as it was, it was very late afternoon when I took the shot. The rope is and was not attached to the rider's leg.
LOL - who said it was in SA? ...
Just teasing. I believe this particular place has the rodeos quite regularly. They are out in Bronkhorstspruit (Pretoria).

Disqualification Details
The background images were shot out-of-gamut in 2015. The photographer thought of them as "textures", but because the BG was utterly obliterated by these images they cannot be considered such. It would have been OK to use similar cloud images in that way if they HAD been shot in 2021, FWIW.

This is just so amazing! It blew me away when I saw it during voting. Your artful processing makes it a gallery piece! Seriously! It would make an amazing painting too!
i saw this in voting Gaby and was blown away ..
such a dynamic image ..
its just beautiful with your smooth dusty background ..
absolutely wonderful . :)
many congratulations on the ribbon . :)
interesting puzzle.-: what will happen after she falls, assuming the rope tied to her boot is connected to the bull's harness? and what has happened to he left leg which seems to end in the bull's rear right? nonetheless it is an arresting photo, the rider and bull as one, featured against a painterly cloud.
