A great , sharp action shot Amadeus - I agree with Jerzy - this is one of the most exciting action shots - the low angle works very well - we can almost feel the breath of the animals upon us.

best wishes Kev

Here, the use of the zoom helps pack up some of the most energetic shots I can remember. Everything is under tension, even the powerful sea of green of the palm tree branches, like swatches of paint thrown on a canvas. The light on the back of the bulls is another swatch accelerating the action. A great contribution, worthy of publication full page.
