Kambala is a traditional buffalo race held every year in Karnataka (India), in the Tulu Nadu region. Born as a form of entertainment, it has evolved into a competition. Races can last up to 48 hrs and take place into two tracks filled with water.

Shajin welcome It's best to stick to one image when posting in Critique - That said I have picked one only to comment on the best of the four in my view. Plenty of action on show in full gritty colour well captured. - This is what I had a play with. - Small crop off the top and bottom - Nik Tools Tonal Contrast to help with texture and impact - Last I used Topaz AI with noise reduction as the image was quite noisy - Thank you for sharing.. Almost forgot I cloned out some highlights.

Hello Shajin

 

Thank you for sharing these dramatic photos with us, although I have to repeat what Daniel has said about posting one photo at a time. I think Daniel chose the best photo to work on but I picked a different one. No changes to the composition; I have just enriched the colours a little and tried to play down the highlight on the left slightly.

Good light, Elizabeth
