This photo is by Ed Kashi and I found it while looking through the VII photo website. It is one image from a photo essay titled, "Agent Orange's Enduring Legacy". In the photo, there are two major focus points, the woman on the left side, and the boy in the right hand corner. Our focus bounces back and forth between the two due the amount of light on the woman, and the little boy's yellow shorts. In between them, there is this neutral, grimy mint green that does not distract much attention. Compositionally, there is a diagonal line pointing to the upper right. It's a very low tension image, the only highlight colors are red and yellow. It looks like a natural lighting situation, which adds to the neutrality.
