 The NUS March in London, fighting against the government's plan to lift the cap off tuition fees, allowing universities in the UK to charge whatever they like.
Education is a right, not a privilege.

I was marching for the University of Kent's Student Union as well as taking pictures for the InQuire student magazine and the Luxemburger Wort newspaper.
With this picture I tried to include as much information as possible into one striking picture - I guess that's one of the goals of photojournalism. You've got Big Ben, the symbol of London, you've got protesting, marching students and signs which tell you what the march is about.

Man I'm glad I got that 10-20mm!

Love how you captured not only the event and the people here, but gave it a location as well. Nicely done.

Nice bit of photo-journalism. Luckily I was one who received a free education in London back in 1982. Changes I see under Blair and his croneys are not ones I like. But that's an aside from your photo. 7.

Great photojournalistic shot! Plenty of action going on. The signs are really driven home by the college building in the back.

An excellent bit of photojournalism while being "artistically" pleasing also...well seen.
