"The playful children in this photo definitely capture my interest. I appreciate how you begin by recognizing the focal point of the picture, which in this case is the girl. I would like to add that the vertical positioning of her body combined with her facial expressions not only make her seem older, but also more mature. The positioning of her hands as well as the dirt in her nails indicate that she's probably been doing some sort of labor using her hands. I also really like the organization of your analysis because your description starts at the focal point, slowly moves out to the other children in the photo and then the background. I would like to mention that the younger boy is the one holding what seems to be a piece of wood not the older boy. Additionally, it would be interesting to mention something about the photographer because I would infer that the children are posing for the photo; however, the girl on the very left seems to be doing her own thing, completely unaware of the presence of the camera."
