This shot was taken at the Santa Clara ( Near San Jose California )
Convention Center when President Bush came to speak at a fund raising luncheon. Security was VERY tight and I missed the arrival so during the speech I took photos of the protesters and supporters and the security there to keep them in line. The crowd was small, well behaved and rather flamboyant. I can't remember if the sherriff in the forground was smiling at the woman dressed as Wonder Woman, the Lesbian couple in their wedding dresses, of one of a dozen costumed fringe players.
I shot this from as close as I was allowed to get, across eight lanes of traffic with no tripod, as I said security was polite but very firm.

Thank you for taking a sincere photo! I'm so tired of obviously fake setup shots. This pic does my heart good.

Good use of depth of field here. This places attention on the two soldiers (or police officers?) in front. The expression on the face of the one on the left makes me wonder what he sees. Good luck! 7

good title to this shot...I don't really get the impression that something off screen is about to happen

what an interesting shot & composition, you captures the expression without being right up on him
