This photo invokes a feeling of sadness. The only subject in focus is the man in the front who has his hand over his mouth in disappointment. It looks as if he is in shock and at the same time, thinking about what he should do. Everyone behind him carries yellow forms. I'm assuming it is a massive lay-off because they all have the same form and although everyone is blurred out because of the depth of field, the man in the front that is in focus clearly expresses shock and sadness. In essence, the group has just come to the realization that they are now unemployed and they walk with their heads either low, or they stare at this odd yellow paper in disbelief that they have just been laid off.
