 The Olympic Torch returned to Atlanta on Friday, the 18th . It was its third visit in eight years (1996 for the Centennial Games, 2000 for the Sydney Games, and 2004 for the Athens Games).

These guys were ahead of the Torch on Capitol Avenue, on their (and the Torch's) way to the old Olympic Caldron and then to Turner Field, the former Olympic Stadium.

where's the torch? The officer on the left appears to be what you wanted to be in focus but you have his patch in focus but npot his face.

I hope all of Atlanta's finest aren't this out of shape! Good lord!
This might be a bit more effective if we could see the torch and some onlookers. The cropping is extremely tight. These guys just aren't compelling enough to draw my interest.

Poor composition, you need at least one policeman both in focus and and the frame.

Too tight of crop for my tastes. Pretty good photo regardless however. Good headline.
