Photographer's Note
Another picture from the Paalamedu Jallikattu. I see TE member comments on the Manjavirattu expressing your views on this sport.. It is indeed very dangerous.
I saw a brave youngster in an yellow T-Shirt (i guess the number on his T was 4, watch out for him in other snaps) He was the 2nd best at Paalamedu and the next day at Alanganallur festival, i was told... he died when a bull poked him in the neck.
I dedicate all Jallikattu pictures to the enthusiasm and spirit of these young men and to their families for leaving behind with history... their act of bravery.

this has been taken very well.
surprised that mine is the second comment here till now.
you've actually ended up panning the shot a little bit and i think it has worked out quite well. the eyes get drawn to the middle of the action , especially to the man on the bull. im only wondering why you used a circular polariser for this .
take care
