I have no idea how to add exif data, but I took it with a Sony Cybershot DSC-W100, its obviously heavily photoshopped.

post processing is weak.


would have looked better if you angled the camera more downwards and including his boots instead of so much sky.

Did you mean that the act of post processing is weak, or that MY post processing is weak?

In an honest response to your criticism (which I really appreciate), I don't think the photo would have looked better If it was angled down.

Your eye is at first drawn to the subjects head, which tells you about the subject (hes a a bull rider) which is then reinforced by the background (hes a bull rider, at a bull riding event). If the sky is cropped out, your eye first focuses on the subjects head, and then immediatly after, on the lightest point in the sky (middle left).

I don't know, I wasn't too focused on the fact that he was a bull rider as I was on the drama between him and everything else.

72468 here. PP (post processing) is fine, as long is its done correctly and tastefully. It's not always possible to get perfect exposure and composition.

I actually really like the composition on this one. If you wanna get philosophical/metaphysical/whateverisical, its like the rider's without a ride, looking longingly at the arena and the crowd. Less about the rider and more about the environment.
