OMG is this for real??? I am going to mark it as if it is (whilst maybe hoping that it isnt). Very distressing look on the womans face has been well captured and the young boys blank confusion adds to this

Great desat job as well

This picture bothers me and I hope you will reveal all after the competition. Having said all that if I look at it dispassionately I have to say its a great image and worthy of a 10

Way too intrusive for my taste. If this is just photojournalism, why have you desaturated your backgound? Photojournalism still needs to be artistic. The composition doesn't work well here, the police officers need to be facing the camera more. There's not enough sense of context for this to work well as photojournalism.
