VJ Day

The image is not perfectly clear, many elements are blurry. That being said, the clarity of the image is not the key for this image. The image catches the exuberance and joy of the ending of the war.  It is compositionally simple, the subject is dead center. The black and white assits the image by creating contrast between the two main subjects.  The background characters also provide to the joy of the photo. It glamorizes the ending of the war, so it provides for a romantic idealization to war. It gives a setting and an emotion to the exhuberance of the era.
