Intent

Behind the frame

What I was trying to do:

A rare instance where I had spotted this mom and son in Oaxaca earlier and then saw them again as they left a store. I was hoping to catch a moment when she dragged him along but got this shadow instead.

What worked:

Definitely the story told in the shadows and the colors.

What I'd do differently:

I love the image although if there was one other element happening it would be less one-note.
