Cowboys and rodeo clowns have close calls almost every time they go into the arena.

    AMAZING capture Mark! The look in that bull's eye is strange -- almost zombie-ish -- of course I'm looking at that strap around him and thinking THAT can't be comfortable! Perfect entry for this theme.

    Yikes!!!! I love, love, love the clown face above the bull - and the hands over faces of women in the crowd! Excellent. :)

    seems like it's just slightly *beyond* a close call. :)

    Have a pal back in Louisiana - rodeo clown - had his face reconstructed after a bull landed on it, just like this. Chuck gave up the rodeo circuit after a few months spent thinking about it in intensive care. Now, he's the most sought after Ag Teacher in Louisiana! GREAT pic. Thanks for the memories of home.

    I've known a couple of bull riders. Like one said to me - Gotta get back up and ride when my son had his motorcycle accident. Said it's a man thing and mothers shouldn't worry. Yeah right. Actually, I'd like to try this once.
