Couples Dance Amidst Tribal Gathering
A couple in fancy regalia is performing in a Couples Dance. The Stanford Powwow takes place every Mother's Day weekend at the Stanford University campus in California. This is from last year. Indigenous people of America gathered from all over the USA and Canada. Groups of many different tribes form a big circle around an arena. Tribe members drum and chant, one group after another, while dancers in traditional regalia dance in the arena. Elders judge the performances - it's a friendly competition. We could feel the energy; attending a powwow is an uplifting experience!
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
