Challenge: Photojournalism II (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Hyde Park, London
Date: Apr 30, 2006
Aperture: f5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/750
Galleries: Photojournalism, Political
Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2006

 Speakers Corner - Hyde Park, London.

Converted to B&W with a little burning around the edges, and the bottom of the step ladder.

The man on the left has a cigarette in his mouth, but because the photograph has been scaled down so much, it's hard to see on this image.

This photograph seemed to attract some negative comments around the title. It was entered in a photojournalism competition, so I didn't see anything unusual with using an provocative title. It is ironic, but a lot of people didn't get it.

This site suffers when interesting photographers like you disappear...love the thought you put into each shot.

This would have been a good time to use a fill flash so the guys faces weren't so dark. This is a good shot though and something I could definetly see running in a paper

The border probably wouldn't work in a newspaper.

Excellent shot, however the distortion of the man's head throws me off.

Nice photo but I probably would have just gone with a basic title instead of expressing your opinion. 7

Speaker's Corner, Hyde Park? A very nice remembrance of old days wherein I attended some protests there.

good shot though I would say your picture is saying the opposite of your headline!

Yes, works for me. The title should be a little less biased though.
