Photographer’s Note
The "Vaquejada" is a very traditional sport in the Northeast of Brazil and also in the North of the state of Minas Gerais. In a 120 meter length by 30 meter width track, a 10 meter line is delimited for the ox to be pulled down. The cowboy must pull the ox down by riding a horse and pulling its tail with his hand. He is helped by another cowboy, who aligns the ox in the track.

Alexandre this looks like quite a challenge to get the ox to the ground like this. I love the action aspect with the dust flying and the legs pointing straight up in the air. Very nice decisive moment capture!

Olá Alexandre!
Muito boa a ação na sua foto! A terra espirrando, a poeira levantando, tudo confere ótimo movimento à cena.
abraço,
Zeca

I am not very fun of this animal abusing sports. Those guys sure might be tough, but why show ones strength with poor creatures.
Photo wise it is a nice shot with good composition.

Oi, meu irmão.

Um abraço.

I like the action of this shot, the dust, and the vibrant red color of the dirt. Also interesting to read about the sport.
