Description
The Legend of First Man
In the East, at the place where the Black Cloud and the White Cloud met, First Man, Atse'hastqin, was formed; and with him was formed the white corn, perfect in shape, with kernels covering the whole ear. Dohonot i'ni is the name of this first seed corn, and it is also the name of the place where the Black Cloud and the White Cloud met.
First Man stood on the eastern side of the first world. He represented the Dawn and was the life giver.
First Man and First Woman are two of the more important of the Holy People. First Man assigned the different animals to their postions in the world; he caused light and dark to come about; together with First Woman, he reared Changing Woman.

Wow, this really stands out! Your post work is fabulous! You do such amazing things with B&W!V
Amazing work. Very beautiful!!
Excellent!!!!! That is gorgeous, i agree with bentchick, you really got B/W nailed!!! If there is one suggestion i can think of it would be to perhaps mask it in Photoshop or so and try to make a smoother transission of the sculpture into that black background. It can be my monitor but the edges look a little too jagged and sharp which makes the statue look kinda pasted on there. Maybe its enought just to smohten those edges out...that is of course only my humble suggestion. #:o) Have a great one!!!!!!!!!!
