Captivating moment for an indigenous mother and child [Explore 2023-08-30 #36] [Explore 2024-01-24 #65]

The Stanford Powwow happens every Mother's Day weekend at the Stanford University campus in California. Indigenous people of America gathered from all over the USA and Canada. Groups of many different tribes form a big circle around an arena. The tribes drum and chant, one group after another, while dancers in traditional regalia dance in the arena. Elders judge the performances - it's a friendly competition. We could feel the energy, a real uplifting experience! A mom with child observes the activities in the arena.

I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from a JPG exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
