This powerful image of a father visiting the grave-site of his son killed by the Gaddafi loyalists has been taken from the Time Photos.Two things have interested me about the composition of the image:
Firstly ,the somberness of the occasion is abetted beautifully by the gloom of the black clouds and the brown bleakness of the earth.Secondly the father seemed to say something as you can see the gestures of his hands which may merely be the invoking of God’s mercy for the spirit of the son. He is muttering something under his breath,unable to come to terms with the grief.The robe covering his head leaves us guessing as to what is going on in his mind at this moment.
