End of an Era in Catalonia

In this picture, a matador is depicted with a bull. Because of animal rights activists, the Spanish region of Catalonia held its last bull fight Sunday.
1. The monochromatic and neutral color of the sandy ground creates contrast to highlight the bull, and especially the red/pink matador.
2. Because the bull's back end is faced towards the camera, it makes the bull seem vulnerable. To achieve this, the photographer chose the bull's most fearsome features to be hidden by its less-fearsome rear, thus making the viewer not intimidated by the animal.
3. The matador's face is intently focused on the bull, showing a sort of prey-predator complex. The irony that a healthy bull –which would usually be the predator– is being predated upon by a matador makes the photograph's tone in reverence of the dominant force a matador can have.
