Originally posted by snappychappy That first shot is very intimidating, would certainly make me think twice about approaching there line.
But less intimidating when you know the place had more media there than protesters recording every move by both sides. It helps with restraint. I think the best shot the local paper could come up with was somebody dressed in 18th century clothing being carried away from the steps. None of the rock throwing, gassing and baton swinging the media hopes for.
I like the use of selective color in the first shot as the composition certainly lends itself to b&w.
