This photograph is taken by Eve Arnold, in China, showing horse training for the militia. The figures (woman and horse) are placed in the foreground, spread out and occupying the whole lower part of the photo. Their colors match and create a harmonious focus of the composition. The background is plain and vast, continuously expanding and emphasizing the characters’ significance. The horizon line is smooth, revealing the extensiveness of the field space. Moreover, this photo exposes a caring relationship between the woman and the horse, regarding their poses and closeness to each other.
