As I mentioned in my last post Intricate Costume I recently attended my first ever Pow Wow. The sights, sounds and smells (sweet grass) were mesmerizing.

There are many different styles of dance .. fancy shawl, jingle, traditional, chicken, grass, and fancy dance, to mention a few. If I knew what to look for, I could identify the kind of dance they specialize in by their costumes.

This is definitely part of the fancy dance (men) costume. I believe it's the back piece with the head dress lying on top of it. I'll add a picture in WS of a fancy dancer .. not a great shot, but just so you get the idea.

Again, not much done to this .. just a little cloning and boost in saturation.

HI Trudy
The colors of these feathers are so vivid, the intricate work with the beads is so artistically well done and the dyed of what I think is a raccoon tail very fascinating.
That visit must have been fun and what a place to get shots.
WEll done

Hi Trudy,

Hi Trudy,

A stunningly colorful and sharp capture of the Indian headdress. The details are super sharp and I like the crop you've chosen. This is really a work of art, TFS.

Warm regards,
Werner

Hi Trudy
Great colors and cropping

Hello, Trudy -
Wow! Very eye-catching and unusual shot. A fantastic array of bright colors and very sharp details, particularly the feathers. Perfect exposure to bring out the brightness without any OE. Great eye to see and capture this scene. The Pow Wow sounds like a really neat experience - I'd love to see one someday. Cheers -

Hi Trudy

Almost missed this one. Effective tight framing on this very colourful head-dress. Good punchy light contrasts with excellent framing & composition on the Native American headwear. Tfs!

hi trudy!

lovely bunch of colors here. although you could still tone down the exposure a bit to get the colors more saturated.
