Political Rally - Phoenix

Last Friday I was downtown for a meeting. On my way home I noticed the rally at the state Capital. Fortunately I had my camera in the car, so I found parking and practiced a little PJ. I'm rather shy, so it was a good exercise for me.

Please, no political comments.

    welcome to pj.
    #2 and #4 outstanding.
    In #2 I like their body language, the look on their faces and wonder what exactly they are staring at and what they are thinking. I think maybe it could do with a square prop to the tree--that's a suggestion and I'm curious to see what others think as I continue to practice my cropping skills.

    #4 man! I want to know what the man in the trucker hat is saying and if they Harley-hatted guy is thinking. What expressions you captured on all three men whose faces are visible. These two shots are just great-the other two I'd toss if they were alone, but work as a series.

    Good job. Keep posting.

    Thank you for the feedback! I really appreciate it. :D I'll play around with cropping.

    Shot #2- notice the cops shoulder patch- AZ

    I was stationed at Fort Huachuca, AZ.. just outside of Sierra Vista.

    I didn't notice that the first time around- nice shots!

    What camera did you use- very good images.

    #2 really works for me, too. They're all staring in basically the same direction, all with very serious looks on their faces. Like Liz, it makes me wonder what they were watching. Since it was a rally, maybe a speaker. Overall, a really good shot. :-)

    Yeah but, doesn't show in your avatar frame. we have a little glitch in the software. if you edit your profile and add something (like a period) in every field, then the "location" will show in the avatar frame. thumb.gif

    Love the set, I particularly like #2 with the facial expressions and body language

    #4 for me with the passion of the speaker and the dispassion of the listeners...
