Photographer’s Note
This game is well known in the south West of France. Cows are running to hurt the man, but he escapes by leaping over the cow. This man put his feet in a beret (other jumps are also welcome - see my post of yesterday). Shows occur in sumertime.

What a crazy sport! You have captured the action well. Their is a bit too much dead space on the right, and the image could use a little sharpening, but I still like it a lot!

Hi Claude.
Excellent timming. Maybe your POV is not the best possible, but this chances are so difficult... I like very much this picture.
Well done.

Bonjour Claude,
This is a sensational action shot of a sport I am hearing about for the first rime. This makes the ancient Minoan bull jumping mild by comparison, but I did find some images of the sport that you report: #1, #2, #3
Warm regards,
Bulent

Salut Claude,
Voilà un type de lévitation que je ne connaissais pas, de même que cet usage du béret.
Bravo pour ce témoignage des us et coutumes de note hexagone!
Et dans ce cas là, vivi le zoom!
Amicalement
Diane

Salut Claude,
Un jeu pour les vraiment téméraires (ou fous? :-). Tu as capté le moment très bien, avec le sauteur volant au top du taureau. C'est bien composée aussi, avec l'homme dans un des points dorés et la corde accentuant la diagonale. La poussière aide la sensation de mouvement.
Amicalement,
José
