I saw these two images by Xiaoxiao Peng next to each other in the #exposeddc IG feed and thought they would make a terrific diptych. The use of negative space in the first is juxtaposed perfectly in the second by the grouping of figures and taxi that form such a visually pleasing outline.

My eye was drawn to this photo from Xiaoxiao Peng by the combination of menacing, diagonal tree branch shadows and the perfectly level horizon of the wall, mixed with the rather incongruous figure of the adorably dressed child.
