Artistically speaking...it's not a very intersting image. But good try! :) The colors, lighting, and focus are all perfect.

Comment by GeneralE:
Thanks for all the comments -- I thought this did surprisingly well!

I had taken a tighter-in shot as a couple people suggested, but I really wanted to show the broad expansiveness of the memorial/protest more than focus on the individual markers -- I figured as long as the figures on the sign were legible it would work.

I did try making it grayscale, but it was just too tonally flat to use without editing not permitted in this challenge. Also in a "real" photojournalistic situation, I'd have probably cropped out the road and part of the sky as was suggested.

My camera doesn't have a very wide-angle setting; what I really would have wanted is more like this panoramic, stitched from six hand-held shots using Autostitch.

I'm drawn to the stream of light that leads to the bright patch in the grass. It looks almost like a spotlight. I like this calm, peaceful setting.
