One minute silence for the shohada (martys) of Mavi Marmara

The Israeli military attacked the Freedom Flotilla in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea early on May 31, killing nine Turkish citizens on board the six ships and injuring about 50 other people. The fate of three other Freedom Flotilla activists is still unknown.
Israel also arrested nearly 700 activists from 42 countries on board the Freedom Flotilla, which was attempting to break the siege of Gaza in order to deliver 10,000 tons of humanitarian assistance to the long-suffering people of the territory.

    the man on the left either needed to be fully seen or totally cut out......
    but a decent photo anyway.

    Share the pictures. Tell the story that way. I don't appreciate the written editorialising.

    That said, the image is interesting in the composition with the videographer point back into what I assume is the audience. I agree with Art regarding the man on the left.

    Before any one says don't politicize the photo, the OP posted his views, my comment is simple:

    That's one view of the situation.

    If this is to be a news photo ... you failed if the story is about the "End The Seige On Gaza" panel. If the story is about the video guy ... well you fared better than your attempt to communicate "End The Seige On Gaza" panel.

    A tighter crop top, bottom and left would improve the image. Photography is all about communications ... your image did not convey the message of your text.

    Are you trolling? This is not a political forum.
    Please don't mistake my blunt, pointed posts as my being "angry," "short," or "rude."
