 I took this photo at the celebrations in the streets of Cairo of the victory of the revolution in a tunnel not far from the republican palace after 5 hours from the announcement of the dictator Mobarak stepping down from the presidency. I took it with my mobile phone Nokia 6720 with it's 5 MP camera because my camera had a malfunction at that moment, so forgive me for the poor quality.

What a great day it was :)

strong image, well framed. Goes to show it isn't the camera that makes a photo.

I'd prefer if you left this in colour, must've been a great atmosphere there!

This goes beyond street and qualifies as photojournalism. Not that the two are unrelated. Good shot.

Photojournalism combined with street photography. Nice.

Wonderful congratulatory feel to this (as it should be).

More photojournalism than street photography... Composition leaves room for improvement, but I'm having a hard time scoring this, considering the importance.
