| I'm so glad this got such great attention, Tib! Paul is right: this is one of the more remarkable captures on the revolution. Poignant, grand, yet very human. |

| The sense of scale and isolation is amazing. Wish the yellow cast had been removed from her face |

| I like the strong yellow in the image and the odd scene against a city backdrop. |

| So crisp and perfect that it looks like a collage; it's telling a heroic story |

Love this. All those chrome yellows and ice blues; it's visually fabulous. Also remarkably well ordered and composed for something you could control only in terms of your own positioning. And it's a very sweet bit of social commentary too, comprising the simple and inoffensive juxtaposed with the symbol of the big bucks in the background (and a nameless void hovering behind that).
You can't spell umbrella, but that don't mean nothin' ... half the people voting on this will think that Hong Kong is a really big gorilla.
Anyway, it's a real photograph of an unexpected but real deployment of the umbrella as both sword and shield. Almost certainly the most significant event in the 2000-odd-years of umbrella history. And you were there, and got a brilliant shot ... better and more contemplative than most photojournalists would have come up with: the tear gas canisters bouncing off the parasols. Yours is better, and has more depth, than such predictable bromides. Have a 10 and an Order of the Thumb. Thank you.
