"Not Welcome Mr. Bush" Protester

This picture was taken at a protest while president George W. Bush was visiting Mainz, Germany. The whole city was in a kind of state of emergency, manhole covers had been welded shut because of possible bomb attacks, shops and schools didn't open and some parts of the city had been completely closed off. Although it was impossible to travel to Mainz by car that day (because even the traffic on the autobahns had been redirected), it was still possible to commute into the city by public transportation, so 12,000 demonstrators gathered in a protest against Bush and his policies. A good opportunity for pictures I reckoned. Although I'd entered Mainz without any problems there was one thing I hadn't anticipated: soon after the protest had begun, heavy snowfall started. This made photographing quite difficult.
With my big camera in my freezing hands I got under a roofed bus stop when I discovered this young man right in front of me. His grumpy expression really captures the whole mood of the protest. First he stood turned towards me, but while I chose the framing and focused, he had already turned away halfway. But still I pressed the shutter release. I should be damned if I let this handsome guy with the expressive poster in the background get away without taking a picture. By the way, there were hundreds of these posters in Mainz that day.
The camera was hand-held, shutter speed was 1/125th second, aperture was f/3.5. The image is not cropped and not manipulated.
