EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Wong Campion, the intense battle between two roosters takes center stage during a local cockfighting event in Jinning, Yunnan province, China. The image was taken on February 28,2018, just after the Spring Festival holidays. The photograph showcases the raw power and instinct of these feathered creatures as they engage in a fierce clash of dominance. With their bodies blurred in motion and their sharp claws raised high, it is evident that these birds are fully committed to asserting their authority. While violence permeates the air around them, there is an element of beauty found within this chaotic scene. The creative use of depth of field allows us to focus on the unrecognizable body parts engaged in battle while blurring out the surrounding people and exterior elements. This technique adds an artistic touch to an otherwise brutal spectacle. Cockfighting has long been a controversial tradition deeply rooted in certain cultures worldwide. It serves as both entertainment for spectators and a display of strength for these magnificent creatures. However, it also raises ethical concerns regarding animal welfare. Wong Campion's thought-provoking photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also sparks conversations about our relationship with animals and our responsibility towards them.
