This photo's content is a joyfully family portrait, this photo seems to be obviously thought out and placed perfectly but the natural expressions of happiness on the subject's faces makes the fact the photo was planned out irrelevant. Each member of the family is touching each other in some way; holding hands, hands on shoulders/knees, lifting up etc connoting that they are a strong bonded and close family and each subject looks like they belong there also with the connection they are making with each other creates a "chain" in which the viewer looks along the line of family members and because it's being taken in such a delicate way it makes the viewer look closer into the photo noticing each detail more. The fact that there is nothing else in the image other then the family and the scene behind them suggest that together they feel "on top of the world."
The colours in the photo don't seem to be altered, its a typical sunny day in a rural scene and with the colours being so natural and beautiful it makes the photo more authentic; as if your the one capturing the image or seeing this family in front of you. The colours green,white and blue run strongly through the image; matching the scenery behind them which creates a lovely effect and seems to tell us they go to this place often together or it could mean alot to them.
The wide angle in which the photo is taken creates a beautiful effect; showing off the scenery just as much as it shows off the family and beautifully placed over/on the horizon line which leading lines direct our eyes into the family and centers us at the "man of the family" signifying his importance to them.
This photo is very ascetically pleasing to the viewers because they see the family and how close they are; they draw similarities with this family and their own, the smiles on the faces of each subject is contagious and the tone of the photo due to lighting and colour adds to create a beautiful image where you can almost hear the laughter of the family as they joked and smiled with each other.
