From the Coeur d'Alene Pow Wow this past summer. Finally got around to making the black and white conversion. What do you think? This is a difficult situation, as color is a big part of this ceremony.
By the way, he's not squinting. This is his natural expression.
Thanks,
Tim
Very nice Tim. I guess I missed the color version, or did you actually post it? I was captivated by both the man and the effect you applied, which I like! Good work!
I like this shot a lot and I really like the framing. In the B&W version I think a more contrast might help, especially in the hair, cheek, and necklace area. These are just quibbles really. Nice work.
It was my first time shooting a PowWow. I have to say that the biggest challenge is the backgrounds. Very busy and distracting. I had a surprisingly low number of keepers here. Makes me anxious for next summer though!
