Terrified woman with her two children unwillingly caught in a ditch.(good focus)

Subject: Terrified woman with her two children unwillingly caught in a ditch.(good focus)
 
 
By: David Leeson
 
Caption: Caught in crossfire from the 3rd Intantry Division fighting through
Northern Baghdad, a woman huddles in an open ditch with two terrified and
bloodstained children.
 
Critique: This photo has a striking sense of mood and story all in one. There are two
children and a mother who are horrified for their lives and the atmoshpere around them. The
focus and detail that this picture also includes is one very important and attention
drawing aspect. You don't notice the fear just by the caption but by the candid moment of
this photo. The shadow of the light on the ground around and behind them is in surprisingly
good focus along with other many aspects with this photo that draws out the perfection at
just the right amount.Back to the lights, it's not only the focus but this characteristic
adds a tint to the photo that helps the viewer detail and notice things better. This is a
very well taken photo.
