The compelling composition and the clear emotion it expressed are the qualities that drew me to this photograph. I like how the photographer just simply put the subject matter(the boy) in the middle of this photograph and used the short depth of field to keep the focus on him. I can feel the motion of movement of the people in this photograph which means the photographer successfully captured a vivid moment. This is an important point that relevant to today’s digital artists because they need to learn how to make their works come alive.
