These guys had quite a little scuffle going on. It was really fun to watch and I got quite a few shots. It is hard to decide which one to post but I chose this one, warts and all (you can't see the eyes).

Excellent action shot. I really like the flying dust. The BG WH is a distraction. Thanks for posting to the motif.

I really get a good sense for the environment you were in when you took this picture. The dusty hot conditions really come through in the picture.

I would agree with your self-critic and would wish for the animal in the background to be more out of focus or somehow not included.

Wonderful action, flying dust and all! My only nit is the BG OOF animal, but I love the capture of the two gladiators!! 8) :D

A familiar sight, Cindy, and very well captured. It was one of my favorite scenes. Nice do on the left hog.
