I personally have shot several rodeos, and thus know by experience how hard it is to snap good pictures of those events. I really like this picture because the moment is just right: from the position of the calf and the man, the tail of the calf in full swing, the facial expression of the rider, and, obviously, all the bits of dirt that are flying everywhere.
I have the feeling that the photo had to be rather heavily edited (correct me if I am wrong) to get to this level of contrast, and the overall quality is probably what could be improved: sharpness, less grain (although this was shot at ISO 100), maybe a bit truer colors.
But on the other hand, this gives a kind of raw feeling to this picture, which is in adequacy with the subject.
