Warrior Heritage [Contest Winner Pool July 2004 ]
Uploaded: July 30, 2004 04:47:16
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.

K, this is absolutely the best I have ever seen!!! Everything about it is perfect and I'm sure we'll see it in the winners circle! I think you should move it to the monthly theme catagory though because, to me, this image depicts the greatest struggle for indepenence.
