Bull Race

This picture was taken at a bull race held in a village somewhere near Palakkad in Kerala in a water filled paddy field. A runner along with a pair of bulls constitute a team and they run to clock maximum speed.

It takes a lot of attitude to tame and lead the beasts for this kind of a run. The shot tries to capture expression of a hero in the making who is enjoying every bit of the challenge.

    Thanks Jijo.:-)

    Ya, it wud hav been better with a greener background. This was shot at noon, and the sun has made the green a lot lighter I guess.

    I will surely try for more scenary pics.

    I like the expression on the riders face.

    If you shot it in RAW you can adjust the exposure a bit?

    Thanks for the comment, Dev. Ya, the picture got over exposed when shot at mid-day. The picture was shot in jpeg :-)
