Seems as though the real subject is almost totally LOST in both images. Though certainly a “quality image” not a great pic, due to the loss of “The Life”. IMHO!!! RJM

Thanks. You are correct, the subject is almost totally lost...
But how is "The Life" lost? (If the life was the movement..)

Ya know that there is an actual human being in the pic, but he/she was just too hard to find. HE or SHE then being “The life lost” in the picture.. BOB

In my opinion, both are over processed and out of focus. I realize there is movement in the photos, but either most of it needed to be in focus, using a faster shutter speed, or at least the face of the child. Bring down the contrast a bit to soften the colors. That being said, you need to make the photo to your taste, you are the one who needs to take the credit, or criticism.

Thanks for the feedback.
It opens another discussion..
I was at a Pow Wow held indoors.
The lighting was VERY low and there was a barrier between the dancers and crowd. No big flashes allowed.
The equipment was a Canon 70D with kit tele lens of 24-135m. Any suggestions on how to make lemonade from lemons in this case is welcomed.
And you are correct my background is abstract art. I tend to capture images "as best l can" then ("over") process them into something l like.. My shortfall also being lack of Photoshop ability...

Number 1 could be a great image if it was cropped closer in the face and the red saturation adjusted somewhat. Thanks for sharing.

Number two. I don't think the picture is about the face in the middle: it is about the vivid swirling colors. Number two is the most successful in portraying that.

Thanks Jim.
Can you take a moment if you have the time, and do what you suggest to the image? I do have another copy that is less red and saturated. But i am having a mental block with the degree of cropping..

To me both pictures are too confusion. Too much color and movement If you are using film, use 800 speed film or higher. I took pictures of a Pow Wow that was outside some years back using just 400 speed film, I had problems with Sun and movement in dark area.
