He has his eyes on you, wondering what you are up to. The shot is a bit overexposed, but candid.

Great job! The look on the policeman's face is priceless! Black and white was a great choice too. 9 Kaz

What can I say? I love black and white candids and this is no exception. Overexposure helps, I think. The only thing that would have made it more appealing to my eye would probably be the use of a higher ISO speed if the camera allows for it. The added noise (grain) could have helped with the mood of the photo. The cop looks like he's proud of taking the perp into custody, almost like he's smiling ang striking a heroic(ish) pose. :) Great job!
Score: 9

VERY NICE INDEED. It's very stark, which works perfectly for the moment captured. This is my absolute favorite pic of the week. It ENTIRELY embodies my idea of candid. The expression on the cop's face MAKES this photo. Black and white was a great decision. You should be in the top three for sure, or I'll be really disappointed. 9, just-married

In a complete aside, I'd love to see other shots you took for this challenge and any tips on how you acheived such clarity in the pic.

This is a really cool shot - very "photojournalistic". The bright white (overexposed) areas bug me though. Still, extra points for being brave enough to shoot THAT guy :o) ~indigo997

Don't think that cop was really happy about the picture. I like the high contrast in this. karmat
