Great portrait, but don´t like the post processing to much.. less processing on the skin would be more natural.

Beautiful shot, but so disrespectful to the Native Community. The warbonnet is a sacred symbol of honor and bravery that is gifted to our tribal leaders, veterans and a rare group of women who have earned the right to wear one. Not to mention that this is the equivalent of blackface....we are not costumes, trends or fashion accessories.

For a first time violation of the Act, an individual can face civil or criminal penalties up to a $250,000 fine or a 5-year prison term, or both. If a business violates the Act, it can face civil penalties or can be prosecuted and fined up to $1,000,000.

I find this offensive and degrading as a Native person. We as a people are not here for your enjoyment or entertainment and not meant to be used as props in your dress up game. We are #notyourtonto and #notforsale. Please take this down and try to be more sensitive in the future.

A smoother, sharper image would be extremely hard to achieve. Your lighting and overall exposure must be as near to perfect as you can get. I don't know anything of the indigenous cultures surrounding the headdresss but unless it was used in a ceremony somewhere and not made as a costume there should be no grounds for those criticising it to do so. Great Photo and an exceptional lens on you camera as well.

I am Native American and to some it is very disrespectful for a woman to wear a head dress. It was worn only by men for ceremonial purposes....
