    Ah, they bring me back to my youth, the smell of the tear gas, the
    rat-a-tat of the policeman's nightstick on your head and kidneys. :D

    Seriously, excellent images, outstanding comp and B&W conversion. Around 30-40 years ago Hollywood filmed their "serious" movies in B&W and filmed comedies, epics and musicals in color. They felt that color was too "garish" for a serious drama. Images like these kind of demonstrate that they might have been right.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    wow these are very striking!!

    I expecially like the shots of the police line and the first photo. they are so strong in B&W! I love the contrast between the Police ready for anything with gasmasks on and weapon in hand and the protesters, seemingly peaceful but standing strong.

    my respect for these images! bowdown.gif

    Absolutely one of the most powerful sets of images I have viewed here in a long time!!!! I really like the images you chose, especially how the first image sets up the story so well, and the last emotional image leaves the viewer with something to think about. I just love the 2 images of that young lady....the tension in the shot of her standing in front of the officers is great! Your contrast-y B&W really add to the story. Excellent!!!! bowdown.gifbowdown.gifbowdown.gif
