This is a image by photographer, Dorethea Lange. I think this photograph has a dramatic effect and expresses the emotion sadness. The children are faced the other way which makes me think that there is something they do not want to see. The lines included in the mothers face are very harsh, like life has taken a lot out of her. I think if this image was in colour format it wouldn't be as effective as the eye would focus more on the colours rather than the matter at hand.
