Guatemala, Life After Genocide

This image attracts my attention by demonstrating such a vivid contrast between the orange coffin and the background. The highlight and the only major warm color in this photo is the coffin. Just referring the other parts of the image, it even looks like a low-saturation image. The wall, the tiles, and the mountains behind the smoke create a serene scene. Additionally, with a dog sniffing in front of the men, a portion of vitality is put into the image. Meanwhile, I like how the image is divided diagonally by colors.
