Taken last Friday at a Hillary event. It was tough shooting and this turned out OK considering it was handheld @ 270mm. This dude had that gaze the whole time and like the rest of the secret service was totally focused every second.

really strong image, the intensity is great and sharpness matches his icy stare. I bet you were loving the IS for this shot. :)

Quintessential something - gonna have to think what. Something funereal and gangsterish, except that he is so young and almost scrubbed you think he's spent a lot of time in class mastering that expression. Also maybe this is a profound comment on the electoral process. In any case, one of those things for which photography was/is invented.

This is one of those shots where the environment is as important as the subject. The strength of the man is accentuated by his surroundings.

LOL!! No kidding - from the thumb I'm thinkin' "Secret Service Dude". They really do stand out like sore thumbs, don't they? This is an excellent shot and came out VERY well for handheld at 1/60 and full zoom. Very good exposure and detail. I particularly like the guy taking shots with his cell phone.

I am not sure why, but the guy with the cell phone camera is a nice touch also.

Well, he looks serious...those guys don't seem to have much of a sense of humor! I guess this indicates just how seriously he takes his job. Nice capture of someone obviously focused on doing their job. Your B&W conversion is good as well.
