Violent Ballet

minor league bullring: fading light, slow film, manual focus.

I like the blur but wish there was a tiny sharp place to give focus and importance. Have you considered a vertical crop cutting out all but the head and shoulders of the bull?

great drama!

the work that has been done to that master piece is superp....it just speeks for it self..wonderfull colors and light..the blure is adding alot next to the softness...great piece

Jack, Just tip toeing through your portfolio and this one caught my eye. I guess that bright pink (always thought they used Red:) cape is the trigger. There are enough recognizable elements here that allow this one to get away without sharpness though I agree, one sharp item would make it a better pic. Can't deny the great sense of action going on here though. A great Mexican souvenir in any case. Best, LM.

Hi, I agree the cape is the drawing point. Another point that I think helps this photo out alot is the dust kicked up at the bottom. Along with the blur it really adds a sense of movement here. Off course the color is brilliant.

Great colours, great blur. Very nice indeed.

Fantastic! That pink! That white of the bull! The atmosphere..!
