Somalian refugee children climb the fence in the camp. This picture has backlighting, and also the shadows on the ground reinforce the number of people and amount of movement of the photo. The smile on the boys faces turning around toward the camera depicts their small joys in climbing a fence that can only be seen as their boundary between them and freedom. The fence itself also creates a rectangular frame to the photo, and the small boy in the foreground sets the tone and feeling of the photograph which is an overall joyous one, despite the circumstances. Children can always see the positive in just about any situation.
