Scene showing deserted camp and wounded Zouave soldier. Circa 1860-65. The Zouave soldier is wearing a Silver Crescent and Star Badge.

1. What aspect of this photo is most successful?
- The colourful refraction of light that creates a rainbow on the wall. The colourisation between the diffrent parts of the wall give the photo dimension.
2.If you had to reshoot the photo, what would you do differently?
- Reshooting the photo, I would have cleaned the wall. There are little specs that draw the slightest bit of attention from the colourful rainbow to the less important part of the image.
