Another in my recurring "Old timers with big mustaches" series.
This guy was preparing to compete in a rodeo when I was on the walkway over the pens and started chatting with him and the folks in his group. I came on down and they hammed it up for me a bit, then he borrowed my camera and used it to frame me (once he figured out which of the gazillion buttons took the picture).
Fortunately, my wife trusts me.
Anticipated critiques/comments:
-I'm betting someone will be nitpicky enough to mention the bright vertical section behind his head. I could perhaps clone it out, but I don't find it to be a problem and I'm now curious if someone will mention it.
-A few people are certain to nail this as mine, based on both subject and style. I'll be disappointed if I don't at least get comments from NiallOTuama and Littlemav.
Post-challenge notes:
Did well enough, though I had thought this might do a bit better, as similar shots I have done before have done much better. Mass appeal is a fickle bird.
