Native American Children in Winslow, Arizona. Did a little post-processing that had a feel for the heritage....it will either fail miserably or (hopefully) people will like it.

I think this was a very good idea for a group portrait. You have captured a distinct group of people whose unique identity is getting diluted all the time and this is reflected in their appearence with some ethnic items that they choose to wear and still hold onto and the rest simply becoming western type dress.
Have you run a filter over this? this could of been really nie, but whatever it is you have done to the image has knocked 4 points off what would of been a 7 or 8.. gonna have to be a four here.. sorry 4
I don't like the composition nor the harsh lighting. That photoshop technique you did I don't understand at all. I can't even explain it and I don't understand how or what it adds to the photo.
Not sure if it's a treatment or an overlay...but it's different. Not sure if I like it. It does give the photograph a more "drawing" rather than "photo" feel, but I keep wanting to see the facial details more. It almost seems to must e the colors a bit too much IMO. This is a very different idea. 6
Nice composition and capture, but I'm trying to figure out if it's make-up or a PP filter that is mottling the skin and everything. I think it would be much better without alteration.
