Trail of Tears

Another shot of the Cherokee Trail Tree here in my back yard in Selmer. This image looks to me like a couple- o.k., Indians I guess- the woman with a shawl, both walking with heads bowed. A cliche image, true, but it came right out. Who was I to tell them to turn around.
BTW, when I 'motograph', I play with lighting and color, but I never put in the image itself. Those images, spirits, whatever seem to call out to me.
They seem to want to be known, they seem to be....................active. Wanting to be paid attention to.
I think that's a good thing. I know it is. But can I get them across without seeming 'new agey' stupid or arty farty clever?
I'm trying to be a good medium here............

don't worry dude, no one will ever mistake you for “new agey”!!
arty farty clever… is another thing though.

kate is right, plus they don’t even look new agey.. can you do B&W and back to color? inverse color and then remove that move by, say 50%? what the hell is a “motograph” anyway? get photoshop and you’ll never look back.
