Tracey from White Hall, United States

Great portrait. I love the expression on his face and I love the hand prints in the background. Nice work.

Pity you can't put little videos on here... it would be great to hear/see a dance...

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

It all looks very authentic, do the young men value the traditions of their culture as the older ones do...?

Lovely shot Andrew, nice warm colors too...!

@Observing: Thanks, Mike. I believe they do, from what I've seen. With the current prime minister and govenment, it looks like the future may be brighter for Australia's indigenous people.
