We chose photo 6. The junkyard background shows variety. The jumbled cans and debris add to the apparent low socioeconomic situation of the subject of the photograph. The photograph effectively depicts the emotion of the scenario, in which the man from the Mississippi Delta doesn't have enough money for proper housing or a decent meal. He has to eat his goats instead. It is a good example because it is so busy, allowing the eye to roam freely to take in all the elements of the photograph.
