Muay Thai

[ifilia]

As for how I was allowed ringside, I know alot of the trainers/fighters and people who run these kind of events.

The first picture was during the traditional Muay Thai blessing "dance" that fighters often perform prior to fighting. So it was actually before and not after the fight.

I'll try the portrait idea, thanks.

first shot is awesome!

Both are awesome!
I dig the shadows in the second one!
They make him look really menacing

There's too much empty black space on the left for me, but I'm having trouble finding a crop I like for this one. Since his gloves aren't up, I'd like to see more of his face, but I know you can't control the light.

personally for me the negative space is where so much of the impact comes from. again that is my personal opinion. both shots are awesome, especially the first one!!! so much emotion!!!
