One For The Bull Photo

Photographer’s Note

I went to a bullfight in Mexico City with a few other travelers and although I am against this type of barbarity I still felt that I should see it before commenting against it. There were 6 fights that day but we only had the stomach for 3 of them. I took photo's of the entire match so that other travelers, unsure of whether they wanted to go or not, could decide for themselves. Anyway, long story short, the bull got the better of the matador at one point during the fight and tore a swatch of cloth off of his ass. For the rest of the fight the spectators whistled at him. The photo is a bit blurry because of the distance from the action and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on improving the quality of the image other than just using the PS sharpen tool.

Hi Scott, this is a very well composed and superbly captured action shot and good, too, that you included the rest of this series. I agree the photo isn't perfectly in focus but because I am not a pro I will follow with interest the advice the other pros give you!

I like the way the action has been caught here and the graininess adds to the snatched, photo jounalism impression. It is also very nicely framed with the main action predominantly below the centre line.
Nice work.
