EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Thomas Mukoya, we witness the intense atmosphere of a traditional Malagasy cockfighting contest in Ambohimangakely, near Madagascar's capital city Antananarivo. The image showcases two magnificent roosters locked in a fierce confrontation, their feathers glistening under the sunlight. With their heads held high and beaks ready for combat, these majestic creatures epitomize strength and determination. Cockfighting holds deep cultural significance on the island-nation of Madagascar, where it is not only a popular pastime but also an important source of income for many locals who breed roosters and place bets in weekly tournaments. As hundreds of participants gather to partake in this contentious practice, the air becomes charged with excitement and anticipation. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this age-old tradition as both birds face each other head-on. Their eyes meet with unwavering focus while their vibrant plumage adds an element of visual splendor to the scene. Through skillful use of depth-of-field technique, Mukoya brings our attention solely to these two protagonists engaged in battle. This image serves as a reminder that nature has its own way of showcasing competition and survival instincts among animals. It invites us to appreciate the intricate beauty found within such rituals while acknowledging their controversial nature from an ethical standpoint. Ultimately, Mukoya's photograph allows us to glimpse into a world where tradition meets passion amidst breathtaking natural surroundings – encapsulating both the allure and complexity surrounding cockfight
