Native Indian Dancer

Hey jon

You did a nice job of capturing the subject - good facial expression and a natural crop at the arms. The subject stands out nicely against the soft-focussed background.

My main nit are the feathers. The saturated color and high contrast of the feathers against the cap grab attention away from the dancer's face, as if they were the subject of the image, not the dancer. Also, the feathers appear manipulated, which adds to the distraction, for me.

A suggestion may be to lessen the saturation and contrast on the feathers.

Just my opinion, of course.

The pattern in the sky works well with the pattern on the mountain itself. The light falls great, the houses at the foot give scale and the reflection in the water gives it just that little bit extra. Excellent photo.

Great location... is this a wide-angle shot? I like it overall... but the contrast seems a bit high. It's kind of hard to look at for very long.
