I Really like this photo! It has good composition and tones. I'd have given you more points if he hadn't been flippin the bird. I simply doubt that any reputable newpaper would use this photo because of that.

That guy has a small finger. great lighting though.
the alternate title could be "racist buffoons" or "oi" or "and now opening for the drop kick murphys, Johnny bad bass and the birds."

Excellent picture, the b/w works well here. The lighting adds to the emotional appeal. Very clear. I don't think I would have done this any other way. I like this one very much.

This is a good photo but the headline doesn't suggest anything of journalistic relevence. Your headline needs an angle to lead the viewer into the story that the photo is illustrating. The words Straight Edge say nothing about the event or topic. What about Straight Edge? As a phrase it means nothing to most people. I know what the straight edge movement is but you can't assume that everyone does. The point of journalism is to inform a wider audience.

Leaving behind the challenge topic, this is a good shot. I like the lighting and the capture of the main subject. I would like to see more of the audience then is shown here. The main subject is looking away from the viewer so the impact of his gesture is lessened quite a bit. Since we can't see who the gesture is aimed at it loses even more relevence.

Probably not going to get printed in a newspaper. Music magazine, sure. Headline is undescriptive.
