This photograph was taken by David Seymour in North France, showing two innocent, young miners. These two characters are in the focus of the photo, whereas the background is blurred, revealing a landscape and a silhouette walking. The portraits of the children reflect a drained look, yet with glimpses of vitality and determination. They are placed in the foreground and appear as coming in the way of the viewer.  Eventually, the fact that this is a black and white photo adds mystical qualities to the whole subject matter and the conventions beyond it.
