" Native American"

[New England Moments]

Well I see you can post up to 5 times per day , but nothing on a multiple post, so I hope this will be ok.. will put up 5 here, instead of spreading them, think this will give a better feel for the photos , ready than spread around..

If Moderator don't agree, I really wish not to separate these, please just delete thread .. Thank You..

Native Americans.. Portraits of the People..

[Frog]

I always like Native American photos and once owned a couple dozen from the early
1900s.
They all have pluses but I like the first, third, and last best as it brings out their character better. Number 3 doesn't look very happy but the emotion is well captured.
Why is the dress a different color in the last one than in the shot before it?

Hi Frog... Now thats an interesting question lol... I believe it is the same dress.. however , the last shot is from a version that I created a painting effect from.. here is that shot, again manipulated, and rendered as a painting effect..

Hope this is allowed.. ??

Here is Actual Photo of her Dancing



Then the one above extreme blow up, adds texture, and noise..



To finish up in a painting look shown here..




I apologize if over the limit, but it sure was easier to explain ...but then again , there is a difference in color still, must be the lighting? or my processing..

I think the answer to Frogs question is that the WB is off in #4 as well as #2. There is too much yellow and some green tint as well that takes away from the blue color of the dress and causes it to look more gray.
As to the critique guide lines, we do ask that you post one image per thread and up to five threads a day and comment and give back to as many as you post.
I get the feeling that these are not up here for Critique per say, but rather to share with us.
I would certainly not delete your thread as your images are always a pleasure to view, but rather I will move this thread to our "ViewFinder" forum. This is a forum more appropriate for sharing photos and experiences.
No harm done, thanks for your understanding.
