This is an absolutely gorgeous shot. The composition of the colours, light, and the POV, are perfect!
thanks for posting this one.

Bonjour
la photo est excellente, on ressent violemment les tensions de l'homme et la puissance de l'animal excité. l'instantané est magnifiquement réussi.
Si j'apprécie les qualités de la photo, je suis moins intéressé par la corrida que je trouve un peu barbare pour l'animal. Bien entendu, il s'agit d'une tradition espagnole que je comprend historiquement mais ça me gêne tout de même.
amicalement

beautiful yet brutal. no doubt, many animal activists wil make a hue and cry about this shot, yet i feel this shot encapsulates so many things about humankind. firstly, the grace and style that the matadors go about their business. the stylised movement that allows him to avoid the brute strength and danger of the bull. secondly, there is the bull itself. a victim of circumstance, fights vainly for its life, never knowing that all the while, the matador has one more sword behind his flowing cape, waiting to strike the final, killing blow. finally, there are the viewers, both within the frame of the shot and those outside it, us, viewing this spectacle. no matter what one's beliefs are, it is human nature to watch and ultimately to pass judgement.. well done

Hi Lucas,
This is a brilliant composition, the pose of the matador is just perfect. Even the policeman can't help a peek from the BG.
Best Regards

This is a very powerful image, it's composed well with excellent colours & DOF. I can imagine that some people might not find it too pleasant, and I understand & respect that. Yet for me it manages to combine brutality & grace in one image.

Fantastic definition capturing with a perfect precission that "pase taurino" with such an artistic and mostly expressive way (nice detail with the gesture and position of the torero and the movement of the bull fighting before its fatal doom !

Simply beautiful !

Best wishes

Olá, Lucas! Bela foto, mostrando bem a expressão do toureiro (sempre covarde, na minha opinião) e a derrocada do touro (por quem eu sempre torço). Parabéns pelo trabalho! Um abraço! Miguel.

Ola Lucas,
I like here the very nice closed framing to fully focus on the two opposing forces, there is plenty of dynamism to enjoy in this view and your scan quality is very good.
Have a nice sunday,
Jean-Yves

Olá Lucas! Nunca assisti pessoalmente. Acho uma enorme brutalidade. Mas reconheço toda a tradição e cultura que envolve esta verdadeira cerimônia e admiro isto. A sua foto capturou tudo! É realmente o momento exato, decisivo, o show! Timing perfeito! Muito bom trabalho, amigo!
Abraço,
Zeca
