Should have done better and probably would have if it wasn't so politically charged. Only one of the desenters had the gonads to tell you though. Peace!!

edit* Those rally shots are great, especially "The only Bush I trust..." //www.pbase.com/rooster/peace_rally&page=all

I think this should have ended up higher. I sure don't agree with the protest sign at all. I still think the photo is excellent.

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Hi Rooster...

The pose and composition of your portrait are both excellent. The lighting and exposure don't seem to be strong enough to really bring out the 'character' and 'mood' you may have been trying to convey with this photo. Since you didn't post any exposure information or any photographer's comments along with this photo, I can't really comment on your intent or technique. The contrast is a bit weak and could have possibly been shot with a different technique to improve that.

Nice shot. The only significant problem I have with it is that one person isn't much of a rally- and even that person doesn't seem to be particularly motivated. The crop just emphasizes how alone she is on this deserted street. Maybe a tighter crop with the model holding the sign up, shouting, etc.?

This is a terrific shot. The location and background have great lines but are not distracting. Her stance and expression are serious and match well with the subject. Lighting and focus are perfect. This will be a ribbon winner I predict!

Very nice picture, the distortion caused by the wide angle lens works dramatically here. Impressive sharpness. Great camera angle. Exposed well. Interesting subject. I don't like the border, but I won't allow that to influence my voting here.
