The Character in this shot is in a dark and confined space this gives me the impression that he is perhaps trapped somewhere. He is looking out towards the light on the left hand side of the frame this could represent hope but also despair that he cant be free. He is looking down so this could mean a number of things but i think it is to emphasis his sorrow and mood from the eyes i can tell that the character is obviously in some kind of pain maybe hunger if he has been trapped for a long time. The camera is at the level so the shot is very personal in a way.
When i looked at the photo for the first time my eyes jump straight to the character in the right hand third of the frame then they follow the wire into the object perhaps a pipe on the left hand side. This makes me wonder why it is significant to the shot.



The first thing i notice when i look at the photo is that there is diagonal lines that all point roughly towards the character in the center of the picture. Although my eyes are drawn to this character towards the middle of the frame they quickly move up and left to the to security guards pinning another character against the wall. The shot gives the impression of power and authority to the police or guards giving them dark uniforms where the other men are very pale and positioned lower down in image.
