Thanks Ann & Stan: I'm considering doing a BW conversion on 7155 and then a
print--just to see what it would look like--that shot intrigued me as
well--though part of me feels it's kind of a messy composition--to my eye
anyway--I'm wondering if a Bw conversition might simplfy the frame,
perceptually anyway. I agree 3266 is acceptable in terms of composition,
but it leaves me flat emotionally and I think the color balance needs to be
tweaked a bit and some curves tweaking might be needed as well. I'll know
for sure once I print out the contact sheets. Thanks for the great
feedback, Ann and Stan! Cheers, Christine

Very nice! Though I don't much care for the second - too blah. I think
either of the below from your larger set, particularly the second one, is
stronger. In fact, I think 7155 is the best overall. What strikes me (pun
somewhat unintentional) about 7155 is that it shows the crowd, passion,
action, but doesn't blatantly identify the issue(s). Most of the others
are good record shots, this one is a strong generic "protest" shot that
will live after the current flapdoodle is resolved one way or another.
IMVHO (No, I am not suggesting that the protests are nonsense, but rather
that the governor is purposely stirring up a fuss in order to slip
something else by while people are looking the other way. What is he going
to do next, call out the Pinkertons?) [Pardon the obscure reference to
130-year-old events in America's struggle for balance between worker
dignity and corporate greed.]

Christine I really like what Stan picked too... but more the first than
the second... though the point about its generic one is well taken.
lots of good shots here... but IGP3266 is really handsome graphically.

Hi Everyone: I know things are a bit politically charged in the U.S.
right now given the labor issue, and I'm sure most of you know by now,
I'm pro labor. I just wanted to say I'm not pushing my political views
on anyone here, so I hope no one will be offended. From a pure
photographic standpoint, I am rather proud of the two photos I posted to
my PAW blog this week. Frankly, I'm amazed I was able to get any
pictures taken, since I was constantly alternating between being
demonstrator then photographer--and in the end, mostly demonstrator. If
anyone is interested, there's a link below the second picture to a more
comprehensive gallery of the day's events. Cheers, Christine from
Chicago, Local 1600 :-)
