Staunch

Lost your thoughtful comment when I reposted. But thanks so much for the kind words and the suggestion. Regards, Joe

... drama & soul ...

Hi

what's going on? seems very dramatic!

The man in the shot is telling the public about a dispute between his union and the owners of a large grocery store. The workers in the store were union members for years, but then the store was sold to a larger company and the new owners didn't rehire many of the union members. Now the union is asking the public not to shop there until the dispute is settled. I hope this makes some sense. Thanks for taking a look at this shot. Regards...

Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Regards...

Thanks

Hi Joseph,

Great documentary shot! Regards Katherine

I like the man's expression and shaded eyes. Gives the feeling of staunch resolve that is in keeping with the picket sign. Good photo.

Thank you both for taking the time to comment. It means a lot and is much appreciated.

Fantastic documentary of the plight of the average worker

Staunch *and* so very determined! Great capture. I also can't help commenting on the way this picture pops... that should be POPS! I love the tack sharpness and wonderful contrast you have here, and without losing any of the subtleties of the man's face and expression. Nicely done, Joe! Regards, David

Thank you both. I'm pleased you like the content and treatment. (In this case, because of the current situation, I think the content is far more important.) Regards, Joe

Joe most of the time i was looking at the face. He supports whatever sad he writes. The couple in the pool, this one, you shoot the feelings. In my memory is the thinks composition, but the more i see i am getting used to Portraits of Joe. Congrats. See you again.

I think all is said in the poster the guy has around his neck. Good choice of background which, by its simplicity, doesn t distract our eye. The face of this man tell us also a lot about the situation he s demonstrating in. Maybe poster could have been put more in the 1/3 left corner but thats just a detail ;)

The look on the man's face and the posture say as much as the sign.
