"Not Welcome Mr. Bush" Protester 2

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.
The spirit of the protest was somehow very depressed and miserable as you can see on this young man's face. Though the picture captures the mood quite well, I don't like that I cut off the girl on the right side but included the one in the left background.
The camera was hand-held, shutter speed was 1/125th second, aperture was f/3.5. The image is not cropped and not manipulated.
