Great expression in #1.
I love the processing of the black and white.

Don't care much for the processing in #2 and #3.
Any chance you could of zoomed in a bit on their expressions? I can see that you were trying to capture the whole thing going on, but sometimes, zooming in on just the face with a bit of the animals could draw the viewer in that much more and help them connect with the subject.

Looks like an awesome event to shoot! What was going on?

Number 1 for me as well.

I completely agree with your proposals; but i was at the tele extreme of my lens and could not have achieved close ups any more. Further i was just behind the finishing point jam packed

This was an annual festival celebrated after the reap-harvest.

Thank you for your suggestions

Thank you Dxq; there were a number of competitions based on various classifications-like oxen; buffalo, combinations.... i mean there were several victors

bigtwinky · Feb 23, 2011

Ah... annual festivals. The best thing about them? If you missed something this year, you can shoot it again next year

As Trever1t said, I'm also jumping on the bandwagon and going with #1! Amazing facial expression and a very dramatic shot!! Great job! :thumbup:

Thank you Photographyguy1218
@Bigtwinky......Not only that; it extends over three to four months over various places in Kerala; so if you have a full list of events , you would not even have to wait till the next year
