Fantastic image - they're coming right at you - for me a pity about the signature - it distracts a bit from the image - but full marks for a great action shot!

Very livly photo. Theres a tunnel effect, like when you go fast all the surroundings get pulled into a tunnel. Well, that kind of effect really enhances the sense of speed and motion of the cows.

Fantastic image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! perfectly photo

Excellent dynamic shot. The signature distracts a lot from it, and I think the frame does too. Sometimes the image speaks best for itself without any trimmings. Please write a note to explain what your image is about so we all can learn.

This is just fantastic! I really like the action moment you've captured here and the way we can see the face of the man improves the shot by a large margin. This is just excellent photography...very well done!

A very strong and dynamic image. The vignetting also helps to focus on the core subject and the B&W treatment is good, though it would also be interesting to see how this turns out in colour. Like others, the signature is distracting and the frame is a little too large; a note would also be useful to give some background.

Excellent shot with wonderful dynamic lines--everything is on a diagonal! The man's expression makes it even better.

Since you didn't write a note, I looked this up on the internet. I will mention for the benefit of others that it is part of a festival celebrated by the Khmer people of the Mekong delta every October.

I agree with flydragon about those letters on the photo...but the pic is so impressive that I can't give you less than 2 points up!

Magistral dinamicity and gret idea of making it a BW picture....

How could I resist this fine action photo that I discover only now, myself being such an admire of such races, and here you got the full action from straight in front, a dangerous situation, the water splashing up as a firework of explosive energie of the animals where a human being is glorified in mannaging this powerfull animals.
Outstanding work Duc, (your signature is the only flawn here on this photo, it doesn't protect you in copyright)
A real top photo residing under the best bull races seen here on TE.
