The cow (and the Ambassador) Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just an ordinary meeting while wandering about in the Banni villages.

PS: the Ambassador on the background was my car! :-)

Ciao Luca, bellissima l'inquadratura e l'uso del grandangolo, una foto che racconta una realtà. Complimenti! Rikk

This is a cool shot for me Luca - travelling in Banni Kutch was such a memorable experience for me and in particular an incident which occurred crossing a narrow bridge in the area with an Indian friend driving an Ambassador where he accidently hit a cow - i thought I was about to witness a murder - the cow's owner was ballistic - but another authorative companion really calmed the situation and the worst was avoided - your image presents two icons of everyday life in India and I appreciate it so much!

Hahaha! Luca! This one strikes! I love the POV , really face to face, and the bright colors... It's also a good jump in the past, with the Ambassador behind! Well done!

very nice compo and pov; cooperating cow as well.
A little bit more sharpness (on the cow, I mean) would have been better.

Funny capture you have here! It definitely captures the spirit of Indian roads...a cow and an Ambassador! Speaking of which, that is the only teal-colored Ambassador I have ever seen!

Two indian icons perfectly captured, great depth Luca and subtle colours.

Hewllo Luca,

It lacks a bit light here and the tree above the horns makes it feel like the cow is not in focus. But an interesting shot it is. Certainly because of the Ambassador! Wonderful cars.
Did you ever look at the engine bay?! There is such a small engine in these cars that there is room to fit another one next to it :-).

Greetings and a bless New Year to you!

Wow, I missed this one first time around. This is an adorable shot, Luca. Great composition, I love the curl in the horns and the fantastic blue car in the background is just perfect. Excellent dof! This is the kind of picture that moves India even higher on my list of places to visit!-)
