There is so much going on in this photo that captues the essence of what was going on back then in those days. No color is needed in this photo to show the tension between a military personnel and a gold miner in Serra Pelada. The people in the background look as if they are in utter shock but at the same time have a sense of pride and satisfaction that someone finally took the initatiative to stand up for them.The reason why i feel that this one person is not only fighting for himself but for everyone else too As well because back then there was never just an "I" it was always a "We". In the picture you also see a smirk on the officers face in a way of trying to test him. I felt like the officer was trying to underestimate him and dare him to do something. To be able to capture the tension between the officer and the miner is amazing
