回答如下：

以上句子语法结构分析如下

主语：Mother 

谓语：blasts 

宾语：photo

修饰宾语后置定语：of officer smiling,giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body

后置定语是一个介词of+动名词的复合结构（即逻辑主语officer+2个动名词短语充当）

上面句子出自于下面文章

Mother blasts photo of officer smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son’s dead body

The photograph, published last week by a television station, immediately drew a firestorm of criticisms on social media.

“As a momma, this breaks my heart. I cannot imagine seeing this from the people that are PAID to protect and serve,” one Facebook user wrote.

Another called it “sickening,” while others pointed at some racial undertones.

The photo shows a white police officer smiling as he bends over beside a black man’s dead body. Wearing latex gloves, he gives a thumbs-up with his right hand and holds the man’s limp arm in the other.

The name of the officer from the North County Police Cooperative in Missouri has not been released. The deceased man is 28-year-old Omar Rahman, who was found dead last August in a home in St. Louis County. The photo has prompted an internal investigation by police officials and a likely lawsuit from Rahman’s mother, Kimberly Stanton. She found out about the picture after a reporter, who was tipped off about the photo shortly after Rahman’s death, showed it to her.

Stanton said the officer in the photo, the person holding the camera and anyone else who may have been in that room should be held accountable for their actions.

“I want them punished for what they’d done,” Stanton told The Washington Post. “Because my child, he couldn’t do anything. He was helpless. He was gone.”

Police Chief Timothy Swope told The Post that the officer was positioning Rahman’s body “to do proper crime scene investigation” and to check for any signs of trauma.

“That’s exactly what we were doing,” Swope said. “There’s no malice there.”

He acknowledged that the officer “may have used very poor judgment” for making a thumbs- up, saying the officer “should be more thoughtful of how that represents.”

“We don’t condone that,” Swope said.

He declined to comment about the internal investigation, saying he cannot discuss disciplinary matters.

Stanton’s attorney, Antonio Romanucci, said he plans to file a lawsuit alleging negligent infliction of emotional distress within the next two weeks.

“Clearly, this is a blatant example of disregard for human life,” Romanucci said. “When you take a photograph like that, the expectation is it will be seen by other individuals. They knew this photograph could’ve been seen by his mother. . . . The smile that is on that officer’s face as he’s handling this human body is disturbing. I’m disgusted by it.”

刘老师：

Mother blasts photo of officer smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body

【翻译】一位母亲痛斥这张照片：警官在儿子尸体旁边面带微笑，竖着大拇指。

【分析】报刊标题经常省略不重要的“虚词”（如冠词，复数等），本句便是一例。补充完整便是一句话：

A mother blasts the photo of an officer smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body.

1. 句子主干：A mother（主） blasts （谓）the photo（宾）

2. officer smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body：叫作动名词的复合结构（不是现在分词）。也叫含有逻辑主语的动名词短语，其中，officer是smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body的逻辑主语，说明动名词的动作由其发出。

3. 动名词的复合结构作介词of的宾语。整个介词短语of officer smiling, giving thumbs-up next to her son's dead body 作photo的定语。

我举一个跟你的句子十分相似、含有动名词复合结构的例子：

I will tell you a story of a thief stealing a lady’s purse.

我要给你讲一个小偷盗窃女人钱包的故事。
