jerrymat 5 Posted January 22, 2009 I am sure that such photos are difficult in that there is but an instant to capture a moment in history and still have a good composition. This one tells a strong story. I am bothered by the woman bottom left who looks directly into the lens - she tends to draw attention away from the rest of the image. I can imagine recropping to eliminate her and some of the blue sky, but I understand that an important sign would also vanish. Also, the perspective foreshortening of the image because of looking up at the building causes a problem. It may violate some principle of reportage but I just wanted to show you that the several problems can be solved with postprocessing. I upload a quick and dirty attempt to show the possibilities.
