 Wow, awesome! Almost broke Top 10. Feels really good.

Captured this at a Pow Wow at the Mission in Oceanside, CA. The event featured the original Indians to settle with the Friars back in the 1800's and as the title indicated, he is 100% Pure Blood Indian (their words, not mine).

OMG! Congratulations Rick. Just so you know, I was the one who suggested the Mission/pow wow for the group shoot, so I get partial credit for this pic =) haha

Is this your best finish so far?

honestly, i want to see this in colored. i think the red skin of pure blooded indian is more interesting than a doutone.and the deatails is not daring enough. try to crop it more; to imphasize the texture of his face. however, goodluck to you!
