Eddie Adams- Vietnam War, Saigon Execution
The image it self show a distressing scene from the Vietnam war with the american solder pointing a gun a a Vietnamese prisoner it shows how at that moment the solder does not care that he is being photographed
By cropping the image your eye are drawn to the emotions on the prisoner face and how that moment was captured you also don't see on the right image that its a solder in it could be anyone pointing that gun in a man's face
“Still photographs are the most powerful weapon in the world. People believe them, but photographs do lie, even without manipulation. They are only half-truths.” said Eddie Adams who took one of the Vietnam War’s most arresting photos of a point-blank execution

With the image above you can see that it can be cropped to make 3 different images for example the group of people in the left hand corner, which looks like a group of people looking out at sea. Also the young boy on the cannon ball looks like he is just enjoying himself and the the couple and their dog would also make a single image.
