This picture looks dark and mysterious because you cannot see his eyes, or one side of his face. The colorful background makes me think, why is this dark man in a bright place? The man is leaned to one side but this picture still has a somewhat symmetrical balance. The artist really put an emphasis on the background to make the man fade into the picture, appear more dark. I think the artist used more of dramatic lighting on the man, but then increased the hue and saturation on the background. Photo #2 The second picture of the Native American man I like is because it is a portrait from the side. You can see all of his feathers and how big the hat actually is. If this was a front view you would not be able to see all of the feathers. If this was a current picture and someone dressing up as a Native, they did a great job. The color is changed to a slight brown and gray to represent a picture taken a long time ago. This was flash photography because there is more light by his face. Photo #3 The third and last picture is my favorite. The bright colors and saturation really draws your attention. The man has face paint and a cloth around his face. It makes him look like he is doing something wrong. Really this picture was take at the Edinburgh Festival an Arts festival that people bring out creativity through costumes. The hue was changed a lot in this picture and if it wasn't I don't think the picture would be as good as it is right now. This was natural lighting.
