depending on when it was taken, I would either agree or disagree with the sentiment. that is about the best protest shot that I have been able to get, too. it is very difficult to make an artsy, pretty picture out of a protest and still let the world know what it is about at a glance.

The strength of numbers is a strong subject. The voice of the people. Good choice of subject matter.

The look on the gentleman's face is priceless.

Good photojournalism, but not really an artistic rendering of strength.

I think the jury is out over 'people power' I wish it were stronger.

Technically this one isn´t very good. Seems a litle unsharp and colortones and saturation seems strange and maybe overcontrasted.
To express a political opinions or send some messages is fine but I think you could have use more creativity and performe it better technically.

I like the colours and message of this photo. However the quality of the picture and the composition could be better to make this a winner. maybe a more prominent focus on the woman 1th in line, taking the picture bending through your knees a bit too make her look bigger, (more strength) cutting of the feet of the other protestors in line would also remove the overexposed white line on the street. But nevertheless, I like this pic. keep up the good work!

Yes, this is certainly a valid interpretation of the challenge. The resolution on the faces of the protesters is well shown by your photography. Excellent depth of field on this. Good luck.

I agree with your sentiments on this completely. However I don̢۪t think this is as good a photo as it could be. Given that this is a photo challenge I can̢۪t rate very high. Don̢۪t take your rating on this to be a reflection on how people feel about this subject, rather look at your photo from the stand point of its quality as a photo.

I think a little farther out, making it easier to see what is on the signs would be better.

Cool -- you're one of the few (if not only) to capture the spirit of political power.

these people are powerless liberals with a wrong understanding of world structure...

Good photojournalistic image!
