The pose in this photograph is very powerful, the expression on the boy's face is particularly striking and your eye is immediately drawn in to him. His furious anger also seems to be mixed with a little remorse and is shared by his 'friend' who appears to be persuading him to put the gun down. The gun itself is incredibly blurry and you almost miss it at first as it is so close up. A gun has suddenly been pulled on the viewer, once you see it your senses are on alert, but why has he pulled out a gun? What led to this rapid sequence of events? Why is a kid barely 12 years old about to someone? This photo appears like a scene from a movie and makes you questions about the characters.

What I love in this photograph is the contrast. On the one hand you have a bullethole ridden wall of a war-torn street and on the other, three children smiling and laughing together. Even though these people have lost everything around them they continue to make their way through life as best they can.

The colours in this are simply gorgeous, from her make up and clothes, right through to the colours in the background. Her beauty turns the worthless rags into something precious and desirable. I find the composition interesting, how she rises up from a sea of rags like a princess. The whole photo is like a fantasy made reality, however, there appears to be little beyond that.
