This photo shows a dimly lit scene with two people bent over near water. One wears a bright red coat, the other a darker one. The background is a dark forest with a faint path and a small fire glowing on the right. The water looks still, reflecting the dim light. The fire’s glow is the only bright spot, making the figures and surroundings look shadowy. The red coat stands out against the dark tones. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
