You've always done portraits so well, Frank (the Civil War images come to mind). But you're outdoing yourself with these Native Indian images. This portrait shows such a skillful use of light and shadow to intensify an already, yes, riveting look that burns through the viewer's eyes.
This IS a Winner, and you should most definitely enter it as many times as it takes to get its proper attention. Fingers crossed for you, my friend.
And I am doing better each day, Frank, thank you for your kind thoughts. #11333673
