 This was a barrel race event held at night, lit by stadium lighting. After getting frustrated with the lack of light for tack sharp photos, I started experimenting with what light there was. Processed with photo elements to tone and saturate and add darker color to the top of the image, then cleaned up the noise with neat image software.

Wonderful image, it's very awesome that instead of fighting the conditions, you simply "went with it" and just let it flow naturally.

I would have like more saturation or contrast or something here just to give this some bang - lovely lines and composition though 8
