Thanks, Bruce, for your comments. In putting this together for the web, I did lower the contrast as much as possible, and adjusted levels a little. However, it's typical of our indigenous people that they do have deep-set dark eyes, and it would have meant pushing the envelope a little too far to get them lighter. In addition, it was one of our glorious Queensland days, with high strong sun! It was an absolutely fascinating day, with bands of dancers doing traditional dances as well. Shot a _lot_ of film!
