Caption:BEYOND HELP: As residents flee an area coming under fire, the previous day's casualties are left behind.

 

Critique: This is a striking and emotion stirring photo. The dead man hidden under a rug shows the despair and torment of a fire that he unfortunately experienced. Left behind and "Beyond Help" (as quoted). The photo has a slow shutter speed and great focus. Shows image in both detail and general  technique. Good CVI and the attention produced to bring a viewers attention is all in the art of the photographer. The angle is also very good because it doesn't bring all the distraction out in the background and reaches it's peak just well enough. Along with this the story of the photo shows how the event before and after happened. The photo is a story within itself.
