To me the Seneca native's skin on the hand seems a bit to reddish. I find these photos to have very high saturation. I think this could be adjusted and get subtler effects. It's still amazing that this is possible with no human intervention but at the same time, from a different perspective, I find that the originals have their own charm that I would leave it like that.

Is it unthinkable that the seneca girl actually had her hand painted red, for decoration or as a symbol of something? Perhaps her father/brother etc was a fighter and this was a way to keep spirits up while he was in the war?

If you compare the tone of her hand to her face in the black and white image you can clearly see that the colors are different.
