I doubt my paper (Gannett press) would ever publish this... but maybe they should. Nice lighting. Great expression. Good capture of on-looker. (think the title should be "Democratic Oppostion" since it is not Republicans who are doing the opposing...is it?)
06/29/2004 03:18:10 PM
What a slam on politics! I like to see photographers bold enough to capture these harsh moments.
06/29/2004 08:11:23 AM
LOL!!!!!
06/29/2004 05:39:37 AM
beautifully said!
06/28/2004 06:43:16 PM
Nice emotion in the photo. I would have made a much closer crop to the person on the left (along the pole,) but other than that, good shot.
06/28/2004 03:32:00 PM
Don't know any newspapers that would print this photo, but its great!
06/28/2004 01:55:17 PM
I'm not so sure most papers would allow it.... but, good shot anyway~!
06/27/2004 07:42:33 PM
YEAH!
06/27/2004 08:39:33 AM
While I may agree with the opinions displayed in your photo, I have to rate it lower because no newspaper could publish this picture because it violates decency standards. Otherwise, it's a fine picture.
06/26/2004 10:45:44 PM
Wow! A cogent, convincing, coherent arguement that ends all debate. Very classy indeed. Shouldn't these guys be out washing people's car windows at some intersection somewhere?

Technically, a little contrasty for my liking, however, news photos happen when they happen and there's little control the photog has as to time of day, lighting, etc.
06/26/2004 04:25:06 PM
This is definitely newspaper-type material, just not all newspapers. I can neither agree nor disagree with the content, but the photo itself is fairly well-made and captured at a decent angle. The lighting appears to be from midday sun, which makes it a bit flat with harsh shadows, but in news you take what you get, right? I am sure it was rather interesting, being there in person...hope you weren't one of the people on the receiving end of "the bird." I also hope you don't suffer from the political voters rather than those who vote based on photographic merit. :o)

06/26/2004 05:53:22 AM
I don't think this could make a paper but very humorous!
06/26/2004 02:10:40 AM
Even though I like bush, this is a cool photo that demonstrates the freedoms that we have here in America, freedoms in which we have to fight for.8
06/25/2004 04:06:50 PM
cute
06/25/2004 12:42:24 PM
A bit obscene for an actual newspaper, but it's a great emotionally charged photo. I'd probably tighten the crop a bit on the sides.

I agree with the sentiment. I particularly like the older man and the the look on the face of the man in the background. I might have cropped it more on the right side for emphasis.

nice photo, not publishable though.......
06/23/2004 06:57:26 PM
Well, hmmm, what can I say. Very effective shot, certainly portrays emotions and opinions and the hand eye cordination seems in tact. Very good shot, certainly news material 10

HAHA! i like that pic but i'm gonna have to say that the lighting is bad in this pic. Shadows are a problem in this pic.

06/23/2004 12:07:44 AM
Don't think this would get published in most newspapers (without editing). Your headline should say _why_ they oppose bush in my opinion. Nice attempt.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/22/2004 10:36:56 PM
oh yeah!
06/22/2004 09:07:08 PM
Maybe this isn't the best picture out there... but I'll give you a vote on politics.... 9!

You'll get a lot of 1's and a lot of 10's. I'm Canadian, so I'll give you a 7.
