Say hello to Mr Bull

A miniature of fear ...

When Mr Bull takes over ,
participants crawl pale in a corner,
bowing for His power.

Later his Majesty shuffled the ant's nest a bit,
with his horns as a warning
no one was harmed
after all Mr Bull is not a killer
but He has His pride too.

Seen on the Jallikattu festival with Pongal. A traditional event from farmers that wanted to impress their future wife by catching the bull barehanded by his lump to hang on as long as possible.

Wonderful capture !
The guy below talking about one face being cropped in a picture like
this frankly doesn't understand 'reportage' at all. However yes the processing
is pretty rough.

Gaurav Patil well...since u have made a comment about me..
I should be clarifying it..

i have not 1ce but 2ce said..the image is impressive and I like it..

and plz stop judging a person by just one comment he/she makes especially when you don't know them personally ..

Gaurav Patil 2 years ago

It's a nice moment captured.. very lively picture..!!

but is there something wrong about processing?
I dunno..its looking sort of 'patchy' and over-sharpened on my monitor ..

also, one of the faces in the top row is getting cropped
but overall its an interesting image.

One that made me said "Superb" in screening ! Love this one !

for me it lacks focus and does not describe the whole 'funny' situation....the animal is out of frame!
i would say this one got away really easy and got published without proper observation!

Vignesh I have no issues with the framming. More of the animal will only reduce the impact of the picture. Focus seems to off but who cares in this case...no point getting a boring picture with great technical details.
