Cock Fighter - Cuba

anonymouscuban

Just got back from spending 2.5 weeks in Cuba. Unfortunately, I have to work on headshot photos instead of my Cuba pics. Decided to take a few secs to share this shot of this young boy I ran across while I was out one day strolling around my uncle's neighborhood which is a small town in the outer skirts of the province of Havana.

I was later told this boy is a terror on two legs and that he fancies himself a cock-fighter. He was quite proud of his two birds. After the photo, he put them down and showed me what great fighters they were with a quick sparring match. I saw him a few times during my stay, always with his birds in tow.

Very Good! And, I'm glad you didn't soup up the color...it's good as it is.

Really cool shot Alex. I think this would also look great in BW too. Awesome expression too.
