NICE SHOT. IVE ACTUALLY SEEN THESE PROTEST AND ITS A POLITICAL PROTEST, THE "PAN" IS THE National Action Party AND ATOLE IS A A warm almost porridge-like drink made thick with masa AND IT HAS A DOUBLE MEANING AS PAN ALSO STANDS FOR BREAD. SORRY ABOUT THE INSIGHT FIGURED IT WOULD GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE FEELING AS TO WHATS GOING ON IN THE SHOT ...

There a lot of movement plus the contrast seems a bit much for the image.

There is too much reflection in the windows. It's a little distracting...

The hand on the left side is a little distracting ... it could easily be cropped out. Other than that, this is a very nice photo ... love all the different expressions!

To me this would fit better to photojournalism and for that topic it's well made: the protesters have interesting faces and look strong.
However, I don't know thing such political iamges would be shown in NG.

Are they protesting atomic energy? Looks like a peaceful protest. Good job.

Pretty good shot. To me it looks a little bit overexposed. I think it would tone down the glare on the windows but maintain the details in the men's faces. This is a pretty photojournalistic shot and those can be found in NG as well as all the animals and stuff too. Good luck 7

The picture is sharp and clear, and the two men talking while the others stare straight ahead gives a nice, personal touch to the scene.

great photo journalism. The red top botthers me a little, I would crop that out. 8

You should translate what those signs say. I have no idea what they are protesting.

Tells a story -I'd like to see the faces more and the window less. (small nit: crop out disembodied hand far left)
