This entry stands out very much on point within the contest theme, ' from the east to the west ' and it it works well on so many levels, points of interest to lead in, it has so many layers, it is beautifully composed, good balance of light and shadow in this bustling industrious scene

Wonderful composition, another tremendously engaging entry & splendid example of mise-en-scène. All the elements here, fit so beautifully together. The way light and shadow falls across the scene, tendrils of smoke rising, the dog with his nose pointed upward catching scents through the air, this entry has a mesmerising ethereal quality about it, which resonates superbly and intuitively to convey enriched elements of eastern mystery. A brilliantly executed capture.

Super image where the photographer has completely captured this tremendous essence of the bull race, with sense of energy and speed as the rider surges forth hurtling on, with dust and earth propelled in every direction under the dual charge.
