Buzkashi 2 Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

The battle continues...see "Buzkashi 1". Here you get a good view of the worn "chapans" the horsemen are wearing. This photo is very busy and a difficult crop, but the detail and the intensity of the moment (notice even the leaping horse in the upper-right corner) makes it for me.

Amazing scene! I can imagine these men are descendants from the horsemen warriors who accompanied Alexander the Great into the Indus valley, after having fought against him...
As you seem to point out yourself, the image lacks a strong focal point. Our eye wanders from the horsemen's eyes to the horses' mouths and eyes.
But anyway, very fascinating point of view, nicely done!
