Really interesting. The more I look, the more questions... Who is he? What's the occasion/commemoration? And what the heck is that furry thing on his right shoulder?

@Mindy: He’s a Native American about to get on his horse - the ‘fur thing’ is part of his period attire – photographed in Fort Worth. The scene quasi-reminded me of the ‘don’t pollute’ commercials having tears running down his face at the sight of current day waste and litter.

This is very cool.

I agree with Mindy... this picture evokes questions and leaves me wanting to know/see more. Great shot!

Hey - Tonto is back in town. Sorry - the snap just reminded me of The Lone Ranger :) Very nicely composed and some great colors in the pic.

Wow, superb portait!

This is so intense. The serious, off-in-the-distance stare, the red streaks across his face and the desaturated colors all work so nicely together. Well done.

You think you could get him to do a rain dance. My yard needs it really bad. I love the photo!

This is awesome ! Terrific ! And I am slightly terrified ! This man does not seem to be our friend ! Great portrait Kevin. Portraing from the back gives -how to say- more distance. He looks more as a stranger !

Great and frightening portrait Kevin. I enjoy your "Make me..." series!

After the big smile the sad cry. His face painting reminds the one of a member of the rock glamour band, Kiss.
