This photo is famous for a reason and that reason is her eyes, you instantly focus all your attention on her face to see the emotion she been though and stress. Also they have blurred out the back ground for more attention on her face and green eyes.

There is a contrast with black and white the photographers has done this because while the back ground is white the eyes are black so the attention is on the eye and I can see the emotion while she screaming. The lighting is coming from the right side, which better than the light coming from top of the head . This photo was a studio shoot so you can control the lighting. He shows his emotion through the image and cover the face with a strip of back and the back ground is white.
