About the Image(s)

Indonesian Ministry of Tourism as well as local photo group tours are busy started promoting ‘Baliem Festival ??“ 2025’. The festival will be held on 07th ??“ 09th August 2025. I make this movie poster for my local photo group exhibitions last month. I have used some of my images as in Original 1 for my previous DDG 34 - September 2024. What I have not showed is my Original 2. Men wearing koteka, a penis gourd made of dried pumpkin. Women dancing wearing grass skirt with no bra. These are their traditional outfits only during festival. When the festival finished. Man and woman would come back home with their normal clothes like most of us.

Another Indonesian themed image, very well created. The two men either side are huge compared to the ladies, and I wonder if they might be slightly too tall? I love the overall colouring that you have given the poster.   Posted: 02/03/2025 09:43:45

Wow! This is a gorgeous composition! The sharpness of the images makes each individual jump out at the viewer, and your selection of which subject goes where in the final composition is perfect - I also love the ominous clouds in the background to accentuate the warrior theme. The saturation of the top warrior's headdress contrasts so well against his dark skin - and I like the way you make the image jump by extending the bow/arrow, the spear, and the top feather of the headdress outside the pale gold bounding frame.
