Agim Shala, 2, is passed through barbed wire fencing at an Arab camp as members of his family are reunited after feeling Kosovo. This image is part of the portfolio that won the 2000 Pulitzer in feature photography. According to Guzy, “Family members were greeting relatives they had through were dead…It was a happy moment.” [1]

This picture is one example in which Guzy shows a preference for colors and brightness, especially in the main focus of the composition, the baby. In fact, this contributes to creates in the viewer a feeling  of empathetic emotional link, also thanks to the movement of the baby toward us which almost call us to grab him. Here, the realistic effect is strong as in all her photographs. However, this is due more to the moment captured than to the technical skills , which however is represented at best, embodying perfectly the right composition ,colors, light to represent at best the subjects and their profound feelings.
