The first word that comes to mind is WINNER!! This is an amazing composite image K. You did a fabulous job putting this one all together. It's awesome. I love the way that you put the younger more colorful image in the foreground and the way you presented it looks like he is reflecting back on his ancestors. You just did a simply amazing job on this!!!! BRAVO!! #677163

Bob Cammarata 7/30/2004 6:26:13 AM

Terrific K!!
What really makes this work for me is how the subjects are facing.
The sepia images are facing front and to the right, while the warrior in color is looking left.
This creates a wonderful balance to a great portrait.

Description

Critiques Welcome. All photos taken at same powwow, and then faded in the older warriors, changed to b&w and changed to sepia. Reworked to fix color bleedthrough. During any of the nation's wars, the native american community had and extremely high volunteer rate for service. The middle warrior on the left has a purple heart emblem as part of his native dress. I will attach a shot in the discussion where I put some selective color on it to highlight that fact.
