Bonjour, cher Stephen,
Une prise de vue réalisée sur le vif donnant à la composition un aspect très réaliste.
Belle réussite !

Hello Stephen, an excellent shot with perfect focusing on the people, and only the people. They wear colourful clothes and/or decorations and an interesting variety of hairstyles!
The bulls are ready for the ceremony, look at their horns!
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hello Stephen,

Another fine, but very different record from the bull jumping ceremony.
The focus on the b/g works so well. The blurred bulls, set the scene, but it is the people who are made interesting. They seem remarkably relaxed!
I love the colourful clothing!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
