Am I seeing this right? Dude on the end missing one leg below the knee?

[-] Person264@lemmings.world 12 points 7 months ago

Could just be sitting sort of cross legged with his right leg tucked in underneath

That's what I see too. If you look at the shadows the sun is their back and it appears that the shadow of that led extends towards the body. Might be wrong though.

I think it's just bad colorization. Looks like he's sitting on a hotdog.

Yeah I hate colorized pictures, just post the original, we can dream the colors if we want but don't mess with the source.

Mosquito bite.

I just learned that there were techniques for color photography as early as the mid-19th century.
