Bull riding is the most dangerous sport in rodeo. During the ride, cowboys must follow the rules while facing a test of nerves with a tough bull. The rider depends on bullfighters to distract the bull until he is safely out of its range. On this moment, a cowboy is trying to keep his balance so as not to be thrown off the bull.

Smoke on The Water
Taken on a fall evening in the rockies as the sun set. Fresh snow had fallen lightley and the golden leaves of fall were still showing!
This photograph stands as a striking display of rider and horse moving as one — a seamless, instinctive partnership forged through training and mutual trust. The photographs highlight not only technical mastery and athletic control, but also the deep, intuitive connection that defines the sport.
From nature back to nature. What seems to be hard to understand, it\\\'s not. Ruled only by one rule. Going back to roots to find that missing, path through life.
She is Calliope, the beginning of a great story.
In her gaze lies an epic waiting to be told.
The photograph does not hold her — it leads the viewer beyond the frame.

– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наивысшим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
