Great photo-jouralism shot. Nicely composed and great atmosphere.

... and the crowd was stunned into silence today when Mr. McCain hurled the baby he'd just kissed back into the crowd, while his wife Cindy waved bye-bye to it.

Why would he do such a thing? Some believed that the stresses of the campaign were just too much for the poor fellow.

You caught the classic two-handed wave. Good job!

Nice photojournalistic shot. Because the ground is white, it looks like they're all floating outside of the plane, haha.

Nice, but too much like a snapshot.

I'm trying to be constructive but it's hard. I'm not American and don't live in America and am bored of have the American election thrust down my throat from all media, I was glad it was finally over! Anyway, I'll stop ranting! It's got a good sense of atmosphere with the people in front, colours are vibrant and the focus is good but there is little "wow" factor to the photo, maybe if you are American then there would be more.
