The young wild boar hunter. I took this shot during the Animist celebration of the beginning of the year (the first rainy day of the rainy season, normally at the end of October). That day they made 6 groups of 7 people and they went bunting. By feet. With lance and swards. They cough 24 wild boars. Then the Animist priest, the chief of the village divided them in the most complicated way. At the end everybody had his piece. Tarung village, Sumba Barat, Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Comments...? Critiques...? Impressions? Thank you so much, Carlo

    Carlo,

    Very historic look. You caught the moment. Could you give us a sepia version???

    Super. Wonderful tone in your B&W, and the discreet vignetting works well.

    Another exellent piece of work, coca.

    I like the first version better.
    It's a nice environmental portrait.
    Normally they are taken with an ultrawide or a wide lens, but this shot works well for me.
