Mark seliger "assignment"

This is a photo that shows alot of Emotion and is very morbid. What make this a good picture is the light t hat shines off the face of the man comeing frome the water witch was poured on his head to cool him off. The lighting and the shodows gives the overall feeling of irony , anger , and frustration .
