Repost - Exercising the First Amendment

Michael,

I like this version of the photo! I would apply same adjustments in PP.

Now I can only repeat my thoughts from my previous comment.

....Well told story about America in year of 2020 and in my opinion the photo should be rewarded not just here on PN!

Regards,

ZT,

Hi Michael,

 

just saw my comments go down the drain because I took my time, but since your photo (especially in repost) is so special, I will reconstruct them here. I like your photo a lot. I see a journalistic photo with a nice local touch (the wind in the palm trees blows in the opposite direction). I emphatically abstain from political remarks about the contents , but this is a great photo journalistically; this is 2020 and you have captured it well. Kind regards, Vincent

ZT, you and I may disagree slightly about the post work, but I'm thrilled that you found merit in the story. - - My best, mhl

Vincent, I was so occupied with trying to line up a good shot of the demonstrators, I didn't notice the difference in directions you mentioned until I read your remarks. I rarely get any opportunities to do journalistic work, but my wife and I were walking across the street from the demonstration. I just HAD to make the best of this opportunity. I'm grateful for your kind word (and sorry about your mishap). - - My best always, michael
