Oh my, Paul! This photos made my heart go pitter patter real fast!! Not only are the colours so beautiful and the design on the feathers...so amazing.And the beading is even better yet. But that man is so very very handsome.!! You got every detail that's for sure. An absolutely magnificent photo. It must have been wonderful to be in Florida.I am looking forward to seeing many many more of these photos. Verena
Another powerful image, enhanced by the way you place the subject against a background of indeterminate depth. Did this festival include a Powwow, Paul? Hundreds of dancers inside a large circular arbor? If you ever get a chance to see one you should, and take your camera along :D. One of the largest in the U.S. is held in Bismarck, ND, usually in late summer or early fall:
