shows gives of a really
good composition of the
little girl.

The warmth and the yellow
contrast in this photo is
very subtle and interesting
having a darker silhouette
of the mother and child
giving this emotional focus

The use of the silhouette
makes the focus of the subject
more prominent yet again the
dark contrast makes the photo
visually appealing

the photos that shows the size
differences between the
