I chose this photo as it had a very strong depiction of how the consequences of war were like. The photo depicted two soldiers, helping out one of their fellow soldier, who was injured. This was a good way to show how terrible the consequences can be. The photographer also took the photograph such that the injured soldier can be seen clutching a rifle. This added to the atmosphere that the injured soldier was determined to pull through his injury and continues to fight for victory. Also, the three soldiers were crouching behind a pile of scrap metals, suggesting that the soldiers had escaped from their enemies sight, and are hiding while aiding an injured person. This adds to the suspense of the photo, showing that the enemies could appear and ambush them anytime. The photographer made the photograph in colours black and white, which shows that the mood of the soldiers are sombre, as they look on at a injured soldier in agony. The soldier on the far right was also closing his eyes, showing that he was likely to have been praying for his companion, praying that he pull through this trauma alive.
