A young gypsy accused of murdering his wife walks through the streets of Czechoslovakia in handcuffs. This photo looks like it was taken in a panoramic view, as the wide background behind the subject is in focus as well as the "murderer". Also, the camera angle is from up above, looking down on the subject, creating a visual turn of hierarchy. The accused creates a strong vertical center line, and his dark clothing create even more of a contrast making him stand out. There is a diagonal line made by a heavy truck or tank running parallel with his shadow in the picture. As well, it seems the people are maybe staring at him, and by the look on his face he can feel the judgement being passed on him by his fellow countrymen.
