Hi Chris,
Very nice capture of this totem with great colrs and excellent sharpness. I would have just cloned the balloon that is a little bit distracting. These totem are a tradition for the natives american. Very well done.

Yes, they are endemic to B.C., Chris. Totem poles are part of the culture of the coastal First Nations, particularly the Haida of the Queen Charlotte Islands. There actually are many types of poles -- house poles were set up outside a family home, sort of like a family crest; commemorative poles depicted events and/or legends; funeral poles honored the dead.
You have captured a lovely light on this one that shows it off very nicely.

The colours are nice and strong on the totem pole, but the people look a bit wishy-washy. But, then it is an old print. I like the point of view.

I like this shot it makes me feel sort of small. The only thing I wish would be different and I am sure was out of your control, is the shadow on the bottom. Very nice shot still though.

I like ALL of it. The totem-pole is so generic of most Native American art across North America, inc Canada, of course. I do like the inclusion of the blimp and the pavilion with the people - so much more 'life' than just a straight shot of the totem-pole itself, on its own, alone, separated.
1988 ... camera stolen?

Brillant, vibrant colors. A joy to see. I saw a Worlds fair once in Vancover, Canada. I love these kinds of fairs, filled with life!
