The framing of the image emphasises the rule of thirds, highlighting the unusual sight of the horse drawn carriage in the centre of the image. This factor alone leads us to believe that the image is taken in a poverty-stricken area. The wide angle shot of the image enables more insight to be captured within the image and shows that the entire area is consumed by destruction and isolation. The background of the image is heavily emphasised for effect of the image to tell the story of a rejected civilisation. The few people seen in the image are extremely small within the frame to represent a sense of scale or perspective of how vast the derelict land expands. The people within the frame add a more human element to the composition evoking emotion and storytelling, capturing the moment where these small insignificant people become a part of the bigger picture creating a visual narrative. The image is seen in colour but the town itself is colourless, this evokes the sense of abandonment and decay. The absence of colour stresses the bleakness and desolation of the scene, creating a sombre and melancholic atmosphere. The lack of vibrant colour serves as a powerful visual metaphor for neglect and the passage of time. However, the missing bright colours from the image allows the viewer to focus on the details within the frame, highlighting the raw beauty that can be found even in decay.
