The controversial April 1968 cover depicting Muhammad Ali impaled by six arrows appeared on the heels of his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Army because of his religious beliefs. (Ali, convicted violating the Selective Service Act, was barred from the ring and stripped of his title.) The cover, the second of three Esquire covers defending Ali, shows the boxer martyred as St. Sebastian, a patron saint of athletes and one who was shot with arrows for his steadfast religious beliefs. This was one of the covers designed by the renowned George Lois, Esquire's Art Director during the 1960s. - See more at: http://www.magazine.org/asme/magazine-cover-contests/asmes-top-40-magazine-covers-last-40-years#sthash.9VNzvVc7.dpuf
This portrait is depicting the actions done to someone standing up for their religious beliefs. Its is communicated that the guy in the photo was shot with arrows for his religious beliefs. It is communicated by showing him standing with the arrows in him. There aren't any cover lines on this photo, and i believe this to be so because the picture says most of the words itself. The only thing the description tells is why he has the arrows and how it came about. The lighting is fairly bright because of the all white background. There isn't much composition to the picture that i can see other than simplicity or background because there is nothing behind him distracting the photo, its all blank and white.
