It is :) Maybe makes it a poor shot from a journalism standpoint, but it attracts the looks.

It is good though that the rubber baton wasn't higher in the frame.

Thanks Alex.

Yes, there's a flare on the face and it is indeed curable with some burning. I didn't do any serious postpocessing with the shots yet, so all these are pretty much as they were on film.
