First Place
The Showdown by Stephen Anderson
Stephen writes about his image:
I took the photograph during a workshop at Don Donnelly’s D-Spur Ranch in Gold Canyon, Arizona on January 12, 2024, at 5:37 pm. This working cattle ranch provided a superb opportunity to photograph the riding skills of cowboys and cowgirls on an active ranch. Capturing the rider against a setting sun was a challenge. I used a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and a Canon 100-400 mm zoom lens with settings of ISO 5000, f/9.0, 1/1000 sec. The Wild Rivers Photography Club has been a great resource for learning opportunities available locally and at remote locations.
