When searching for a photo to analyze, this image stood out to me right away. Specifically, the emotion on each child’s face is really impactful. You can sense the almost oblivion in the eyes of the youngest, and growing fear as the children get older. As for the composition, I think the photography was strong in shooting from above the young kids, as authority would. It makes the scene feel real like an adult has just entered the room. I think that the black and white contrast is also very strong in this image. The light that enters the room from the left shows that there is likely natural light entering the room. Overall I really like the composition of this image, and the message it gives the viewer.
