This iconic photograph, titled "V.J. Day" (Victory in Japan Day), was taken by Eisenstaedt at the end of World War II. In this image, a young soldier kisses his mistress upon returning from fighting in the war in Times Square, New York City. There are other figures surrounding the kissing couple, with happy expressions on their faces as the watch these two embrace each other. I believe that this is a good photograph, because the kissing figures are centered in the middle of the image, with a strong linear perspective running along the sides of them. These diagonals travel to meet direct behind them at the center building. Even though is photograph was captured quickly, it could appear that there was a lot of thought put into how this picture would be taken and its final outcome.
