Observation and Description Practice
The image shows two pictures, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left is a photo of a boy and the photo on the right is of a mattress. The picture of a boy is smaller than the picture of the mattress. The boy is probably around 10 years old and the mattress is an old, used one, with some pieces of clothes on top of it and, in a smaller number, some pieces of clothes near the mattress. The mattress is on the ground (dirt) and on an open field.
The boy is handsome, has an even and nice pink color on his skin, the blue ayes are beautiful and big, he wears a white cap with a red rim. The front of the cap in on the right side of the boy's head. He looks sad and serious. He also wears a red jacket.
The mattres is not new and of a brownish color, with some design of roses stamped. It looks to ben of not the best quality. It is directly on the ground, on the dirt, with nothing protecting it from getting dirt. Behind the mattress there are some vegetation, not tall and beyond the vegetation, part of seem to be a small house, on the foreground of the picture. And, besides the house, some tress.
Two pieces of clothing are on the ground and some pieces of clothies are on the mattress. It seem to be of various sort of clothing but I cannot distinguish if they are shirts, trousers, or whatever. There is no white piece of clothing and color are vividly present, like green, red, blue and balck. They are not organized on the mattress.
