Description

A young black child stands in the center of a narrow outdoor alleyway, cradling a blue ball. The child, who has a serious expression, is shirtless and wears light-colored shorts and sandals. The walls of the alley are painted a vibrant blue, and decorative streamers hang overhead. To the right, a black, ornate wrought-iron gate stands closed. The cobblestone street is dimly lit and the photo has dark, cool tones. The composition is a medium shot, focusing on the child.
