This a magazine that homeless people sell in order for them to try and live.

The magazine covers all topics from homeless,drugs, police, Alcohol, health in fact most topics

The guy between the two policemen had just had a drink removed from him as there was a major march just about to start just round the corner and was given the police a bit of lip while his mate the guy at the back was trying to shut him up.

Perhaps a slight ant-clockwise rotation is needed here. The banners in the forground seem to have seperated the viewer from the action and the photo in general. For a mag cover I think you need to capture the police in a more "active" moment. Good focus and use of the light availible.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look at in this picture. My eyes just wander around and get lost. Maybe if I knew what the magazine was, but i'm not familiar with the Big Issue.

Your title doesn't help - what's going on?

This is a nice social commentary shot that may be lost on voters who live outside the US. I think it might have benefitted from a straigter perspective.

Slight tendency for imnage to lean to the right, subtle, but nevertheless present. Otherwise an excellent image, right on for the theme.

Wow there is a lot going on in this photo... it makes me want to know what is happening and what the heck is Berties. It's very square, I think it might have been nice to give it a little more room at the top to allow for type, and also to make it more vertical and magazine like. All I can say is this is really interesting... can't say more, since I have no clue what is happening. LOL

Rotate this a few degrees to the left. Seems to have a bit of a right tilt. Thought the people might just be on a hill, but everything else is tilted too. The signs, the "give way" sign and the building as well. Focus is ok. not really sure what this is a picture of, but there are some really specific magazines out there. the actual magazine could explain the picture. I looked it up, and didn't really find much dealing with what the magazine was suposed to be about. anyway, it's a good shot, interesting with the cops, and humorous warning sign. just needs a bit of straightening in my opinion.
