Carabao Festival Photo

Photographer’s Note

On the first day, farmers pay tribute to water buffalos, known as carabaos. These animals are very important for farmers because they help till the land. Farmers brush their carabaos' skin until it is sleek and shiny. Then the carabaos are decorated with ribbons and attached to carts. In the afternoon, farmers lead their carabaos to the church square to be part of the procession. At the church, the carabaos kneel for their blessings.

Welcome to TE Denize. This is quite a blurry image (but then, if you look, you'll see I often like that), but catches the confusion of the scene nicely, the PoV from the back of the other animal gives it a edge of danger, the crop also adds to the mood. There's jsut something here which I think needs working on. I think pushing the PP further and exaggerating the colours, maybe adding noise, and even increasing the angle, would not only add to the mood, but also make it look a bit less like it's not quite worked out. Looking forward to your future posts.
