Post Challenge The 4th most viewed entry in this challenge during voting even if it didn't score well.
I have to learn how to compress without causing artifacts.
Thank you everyone that voted and/or left comments.
Some of the other photos from the day...

Good photojournalism (yeah -- that's what it is). My main quibble is a technical one, as I can see some ugly artifacts here and there. Looks like you could have boosted the file size and gotten a better quality JPG.
Shot is allright but you seem to have some heavy artifact banding in the shot, you might try a little less image compression next time to avoid this since it isn“t neccesary, you can use up to 200kb in your shot.
Nice shot, I know those are american flags and american boobs but thanks to NZ 3 news I also know this picture was taken in Auckland. I wanted so badly to come up there for this. But time restraints made it imposible.
