I"m not sure if I'm more impressed with the colors or the boy's expression. Great shot.

Location
I took this photo in 2007 on Manatoulin Island Ontario at the annual Pow Wow. We camped just off the perimeter of the park where the Pow Wow took place. It was a beautiful day and there where at least 3000 dancers and Audience to witness the cultural and historical significance of the Pow Wow.Time
It was late morning just before the event began and the dancers where doing the final touches on their costumes and I caught this shot of the boy prior to his joining all the other fancy dancers.Lighting
It was a challenge getting the right lighting as it was overcast but I used EF 70-200mm f-2.8 L-USM and got the shot.Equipment
EF 70-200mm f-2.8 L-USM and got the shot. No Tripod Canon EOS 7DInspiration
