ICCA- 10/7/13

This is a very powerful picture. My immediate reaction to this photo is sadness. It is a picture of a child who looks as if he is suffering from starvation. He is weak looking and may possibly be dying. This picture was most likely taken in a third world country where food is hard to come by. It was taken during the day, and by the lighting I assume in the late afternoon. The picture is also somewhat ironic because there is a vulture in the background. Vultures prey on the dead and it is kind of creepy that he is hanging around the child. The picture shows Rule of Thirds because the subject, the child, is in the bottom right. It also uses Depth of Field because there is a child close to the camera is obviously bigger than the vulture in the background.
