beautiful picture and a great composition.good work.keep it going.

regards vinoth.

Good portrait. - The man looks proud.

Looks like the (ringer)rooster that fought Kramers cock in the tv show 'Seinfeld'. All joking aside, this is a really nice photo. Good colors and interesting focus points.

Great work.

Very nice photo, Jitka

good shot!

LOL! I saw the photo, thought the thought, and sure as hell you wrote it! I like the presantation on this. It looks like your travels are going well. Happy New Year and safe journey Claire! -Anthony

Technically very good picture and the expression of the man was well captured, however the subject is something that I could not applaud; cockfighting is something horrible to the animals I do not think anyone would do that to a "pet". I do not want to believe that cruelty is part of any culture.

Thank you all for your comments.

 

Personally, I do not agree with the 'sport' of cock-fighting but I always endeavour to take images of real life when I travel - not just the postcard images. I had very similar comments when I presented an image of Halal with chicken heads in Indonesia. I assure you I do not mean to offend anyone's views and opinions.

 

Thank you again.

Technically very good, but I must agree with Esther. Cockfighting is as barbaric as bear baiting, and I would never call a creature forced to fight for its life a "pet" -- those sleep in the bed with you and grow fat. They aren't sliced by razorbladed claws so that one can make a buck. Documentary or not, I don't find the tone or title to be congruous with what is actually being depicted here.

Wow! A fantastic portrait of this mans life. I'm amazed.
