This is a lovely scene. I enjoyed your info too. The sky is lovely as the near distant low mountains, foliage and peak topped slightly by snow. The zebu and foreground people are nice also. Best wishes in the contest.

I cannot imagine anyone in this country walking a bull to market for 3 three days.

The colors are rich, natural and fresh.

A very thought provoking and image evoking take and an excellent entry for this contest good luck... Bob

It is so important to encounter different cultures that are different form our own. There are different priorities that influence their culture and ways of life. You are so lucky to have been exposed to the land and the people who live there. Very nice presentation. Ray

A very interesting and wonderful visual presented here of this gentleman study beside his cow With his child. Composition, shades, tones, colours and background highlights them perfectly well done

A beautiful & interesting picture of the Zebu Market with this farmer & his son with his Zebu Bull that he's hoping to sell after traveling three days to get there. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the Contest.

This is a fine looking shot of a cattle market in Madagascar. You have framed it well. The light and shadows, colours, and composition have worked out well. Good luck!

Good to take photos of other cultures and way of life more so in slightly remote places and of the neaten track so to speak,and this must have been an interesting place to visit,back to the photo two things spring to mind in this1,the guys face is slightly in the shade because of the sun and it could do with a right hand crop in this to balance it up,but i like the notes which explains this one....Brian

    Thanks Brian. I did lighten the guys face a bit - but evidently not enough! :)
    As for the crop, I did think about it, but I didn't want to lose those two brightly coloured people in the background - well that's my excuse anyway! Lol

Interesting and informative notes to go with the image. I find the image slightly unbalance as the main subject is too far to the left. The colors and exposure are great. Focus is also good.

    Thank you very much for your review and observations, which I greatly appreciate. I did consider cropping it, but didn't want to lose those two brightly coloured individuals in the far left background :)

A good looking image posted here with relevant notes! Your fine and full composition suggests to me that I am looking at a sculpture of a cow? Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

    A sculpture of a cow? Why do you think it's a sculpture??? No it's a real and very alive bull, as it says in my notes.
