I've never really had the opportunity to watch an actual sumo fight. Most of them usually happen on television while watching documentaries. But this picture pretty much sums it up. The action, the movement, the framing and the very well-placed focus of the competitor waiting his turn.

Description

Yasukuni Shrine
Tokyo, Japan

A rikishi watches the torikumi before his own. He waits on a straw mat until the bout is over.

*comments appreciated*

I liked this one.

Despite the 2.8 fstop you can still see the sumo wrestler struggling in the background.

Mmm...

Great sense of depth in this capture, and the contrast of the waiting sumo wrestler and the action of the wrestlers in the ring :] congrats on DD!
