In my opinion, the photograph captures the inhumanity of child labor. A group of boys can be seen standing in between two wealthy factory owners. Their clothes are worn-out and their faces are dirty. They appear poor and miserable, especially compared to the factory owners. The owners are wearing expensive looking suits. They have menacing looks on their faces. I really like this photograph.

Poor topic and concluding sentences.
