Challenge: Headlines (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Black and White
Camera: Nikon D7000
Lens: Tamron SP AF 90mm f/2.8 for Nikon
Date: Nov 13, 2012
Aperture: 2.8
ISO: 1600

 Basically Minimal Editing...

The shot is staged but I had clear in my mind what happened in Italy (Genova) in 2001 during G8. It's still an open wound in the Italian history.

I chose to include Athens because I didn't want to be recognizable and because similar situations happen worldwide, especially in western countries that are experiencing financial crisis.

the pure anger in main man's face and the upraised item over the shoulder in the middle figure's arm says it all. This is real. And timely. 8

Timely, poignant, well composed, and if it actually had been taken by a newspaper photographer it would have been one hell of a front-page photo.
