 Taken at the Alafia River Rendezvous, this indian was a plaintiff in a "lawsuit" against the alleged slumlord he was renting a tent from. He ended up losing and had to publicly apologize during the "Publick Days". Very interesting event, if you ever have the chance to go, I would suggest going!

Cropped, adjusted levels and added a sepia tone for an "antique" look.

Love this. I do wish his feathers didn't blend into the background, though.

I think it would look better with a little more saturation.

the left corner is washed out so you are drawn there instead of the man. his expression is intersting.

I like the mood and tone of this photograph but I think it would be even more interesting if there was more contrast

nice feel to this shot, the colour is spot on and details are great, the only thing bothering me is the fact that it is a white man in Indian attire 9
