No, the color. Here it is with sepia added, and just a little color washed out. My original attempt was to make it look like the pair were out shooting in the desert's mid-day sun -- but the background is not all one color, and using irfanview's color-replace (replacing selected "gray" with "white" lead to ... what you see above.
Which was a thing, too I suppose so I posted it.
