Description

A large skeleton band is pictured in a dark and swampy forest. The members are dressed in band uniforms with skeleton face paint, top hats, and feathers. The center figure, perhaps the band leader, is wearing a skeleton mask and has a dark jacket, a long maroon skirt, and white beaded necklaces. Alligators are visible in the water and on the swampy ground in the foreground. Bare trees reach into the sky behind the band. The sky and the water are reflective, and the overall mood is dark and spooky. The photograph has been color graded with dark blues, grays, blacks, and reds. The light is dim and focused on the band and alligators.
