This is superb. The motion of the two birds is absolutely spot on. A happy man when you saw and captured this? And I definitely don't want to see a B&W version.  :)

Horrible, barbaric, disgusting practice.
Frenetic, engrossing, riveting image.

Thanks all.

It was an interesting experience. I managed to establish a lot of trust between the locals and myself, particularly with my driver, who invited me to the venue and who persuaded me to buy a fighter (a modest fee) and put my champion in the fray. Under the circumstances, I didn't have an option. A lot of bets were going on. Unfortunately, my fighter was quickly conquered.
