This picture is captivating for many reasons. The first being that these two men, former “enemies” in North and South Korea are coming together to become one. South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un meet at the boarder to make a peace treaty between the two nations. The blue hue seen in the background indicates a sense of trust and peace. The saturation is bold and bright giving the scene a lively appearance with high value. The geometrical perspective plays a big role in this picture as we see a cement block directly split the image down the middle.  This physical division gives us a visual of the relational division going on, and makes the two coming together even more impactful. There is a medium and average eye level that makes us, the viewer, feel as if they are there watching this exchange occur. The men are wearing dark business wear, indicating that this is a serious matter, and causes them to stand out amidst the bright color and lighting surrounding them. Lastly the smiles on their faces show the genuineness of their truce and their hands in an outstretched motion makes us wait eager exception to what will come next.
