Black-And-White Photo Competition 3 2015 : Entry Number 244

Judges Comment

Great storytelling and great tones, with the added bonus of capturing a scenery and a culture you don’t see everyday in photographs or life. The foot in the front is what includes us in the action.

Photographers Comment

Photographed during the ceremony of Pasola on the island of Sumba, Indonesia.Two groups of approximately 30 men riding horses attack each other with wooden lances; some sustain serious injury, some may even die. I am a retired Montreal advertising and travel photographer now living in Java, Indonesia. Whenever time permits, I travel in the Indonesian Archipelago and take photographs. Camera: Nikon D 700 70-200 f/2.8 lens.
