shots of two different beliefs

REQ

this is a shot from a Russian old believer orthodox easter celebration.


:huh

this is a shot from a shamanic ceremony when the shaman went into trance



I'd love to get some feedback on whether these capture a sense of the event/ an impression of the religion. any feedback would be welcome
thanks!

To me they did not impart a sense of religion but of dance and culture. I really like #1 for it's color, and costume and that wonderful Russian face. #2 I wondered what was wrong with the eyes until I read your comment re the trance.. I did not realize it was a religious dance but others may pick up on it.
#3 did'nt hold me at all. Number one really did tho. Just my 2 cents:D

To me the third on gives me a sense of religion. But they are all three really solorful and good. They are nice, good work.
