Cockfighting

In Bali, cockfighting is still commonly practiced. However I was not planning to see one.

While passing by a temple, I was told that there was a ritual. So, I parked the car and went into the area. Turned out cockfight was about to start. Many people (all men...) were watching and making noise for wagers on the outcome of the match.

To me, this was a challenging photo event. Tried to capture the expression, and action at the same time... plus the lighting. I only stayed for two match though... couldn't stand to watch deaths
