Shot at the Roy rodeo. As I was high in the stands I had to reach out to 250mm of my 70-300. Even so, I had to crop some. If this disqualifies me, so be it.

Dude, you got ripped off! This is totally something someone would see that was "On the Road". And Basson, it is rodeo not rodio. This was a great photo that fit the challenge. sorry these simple minds did not see it.
My purpose with this admittidly obscure photo was a visual pun. I happened to be at the rodeo last Sunday, and when I saw what the challange was when I got back, it just kinna took hold of me. They say art is communication, and in that I've failed but I had fun doing it. We'll see what happens this week.
Great action shot. Caught in just the right moment. Would've done well for stop action, too. I see how you are tying this to the road, but in my mind that's a very loose connection. Some post-process sharpening would've done this picture good.
Your title is the only thing that brings this into the challenge. But I am going to assume you really believed it met the challenge here. Nice action shot, changing the dof to eliminate the importance of the crowd might have brought the focus to your subject a little better.
creativety 6 interesting 7 focus 3 framing 9 = 6 I feel that it doesnt really meet the challenge as much as I would have liked. Sorry . That drops your score down to 5.
I don't get it? Don't you mean soon to be on the ground? Or do you mean soon to be on the road as in he's done at this competition and he can take off now? Its a decent stop action photo. Would have been great if you could have frozen the action a little bit more by raising your shutter speed.
Oh come on -how could too of us come up with this on the topic here? Mine is the bullrider. I am sure you are getting the same "no road" flack I am by the sheep here.
