Re: Workers Rights
Looks OK to me. Possibly, there is an odd bit of pale colour on the right side near the bottom which I would clone out but that doesn't make a serious difference.

Re: Workers Rights
Yes, I see that little bright patch you are referring to. Ir won't make a big overall difference but removing it would be an improvement. Thank you, Geoff

Re: Workers Rights
Because of distractions, if I kept him in fully standing, the image would have been too narrow. I can try covering his exposed knee. Originally Posted by royent

Re: Workers Rights
I think this photo is better in black and white. More punch, in my opinion.
Cheers Ole

Re: Workers Rights
You need to keep his hand/arm fully visible but I suppose you could get away with a slight crop from the bottom and left side, if you want to retain the current size ratio. It would lose a bit of the flag in the bottom left corner but I suspect that would still work OK.

Re: Workers Rights
Sorry, Daniel, none of the above suggestions help IMHO. He is too passive with none of the passion that worker's rights should elicit. I would go back there and try to capture something that has appreciable fire and grips the imagination. He could be thinking about the coffee he is about to order - Duh!!!

Thank you for your comment, Jim. I do understand your point. Originally Posted by Jim A

There were probably at least 60 people with flags demonstrating and others. A sound truck blared music and speeches. I only watched for a short while. I sensed they were a regular fixture in front of the government building. Maybe they are just as worn out as their flags, but they continue trying to make their voices heard, knowing their message falls on wax-filled ears. I didn't see the type of scene you described. I don't think I would see it if I returned.
