This is a picture most likely taken at a meeting of war
veterans and active duty members.
On the wall, there is an American flag hanging. In the forefront of the picture, two
war veterans are hugging. One
veteran is older and the other is younger. The older veteran looks like he is crying as he is embracing
the younger veteran. The younger
veteran has also lost his arm due to the war and has a prosthetic. Behind these two gentlemen are a group
of people including another younger veteran and another older veteran. All of the veterans pictured are in
their respective military uniforms.

Underlying Compositional Structure:
The compositional structure greatly contributes to the listed responses
and feelings that I have posted above.
The way the people in the picture were positioned, with the older
veteran and younger veteran in the front, is very powerful. You are able to see the emotion between
the two gentlemen through their embrace and their facial expressions. This is obviously a special moment and
the emotion shines through in this photograph.
