...i have a shot of an Older Indian Gentleman that i took that night. Even tho he wasn't on the Trail Of Tears you can't help but see it in his eyes and face.

If the shot is that expressive, where is it. I think I would love to see it.

Well i'm not sure what i am going to do with it yet. Its just one of those photos your not sure you actually want to share. One i still want to keep for me.. i'm sure you have taken those kind before. Where it does something to you inside, and you don't want any criticism or suggestions. Because to you its perfect and you want to keep it that way.

Well now you have our attention! This is such a great shot! So sharp and clear and the color saturation is wonderful!!! And that's just the technical side. This is a great theme as well. There are all kinds of sisterhood most women I know have a special bond with one group or another.

BillyVerden

Thank You...

The colors i really like as well. Not that i had anything to do with them. The costumes/native dress is so colorful. So many different colors i wouldn't think looked good together, look awesome together. Also Saurora, i have gotten a good response from several of the women i have show the print to. They seem to understand something inherently in it. Something more than i think i or most men seem to be able to. I think thats cool.

I think you're right...women would react to this shot because they can inherently relate to it. This would be a great entry in the current Challenge if it qualifies time-wise!

BillyVerden

cool...

Not sure what the challenge topic is, but i took the photo labor day weekend(Friday Evening). And i think you have to take photos expressly for the challenge, if i remember right. But thanks for suggesting it.

I like the composition, topic and even the colors (perhaps over-saturated ). Thanks.

I think possibly the Orange may be a bit oversaturated. But i think orange is somewhat difficult to control, for me anyway.lol. But also the place i have my photos printed seem to be a bit(not alot) less forthcoming with their colors. hehe. But glad you liked it.
