Very good series of these women and men in full action !

Jonathan -

Not only excellent reportage, but the "print" quality is far better than you were able to achieve while you lived there.

Ivan, Vieri, Doc Henry and Stuart,
Thank you all for the comments.

Jonathan, you have the nose & the eye for outstanding reportage. Great connection with the crowd & it's most alluring faces. You were very brave to be doing such crazy things like this in Argentina. I have many friends in Miami that have "lost" family members that are still unaccounted for.

impressive shots that really capture the event....perfectly framed and timed.

I like them both but I prefer the second one.
Excellent tones, contrast and right in the middle of the action.
But unfortunalely not a nice situation for people living there.

beautifully photographed
superb details (the faces are all clearly depicted in the second) and wonderful light in both
the composition of the second photograph is exceptional, IMHO
the flags act to lead the eye towards the figure on the extreme left, above the crowd & seemingly hold a microphone
both are excellent, but the second is thrilling photography
what were they protesting?

badpets · 07/18/08, 03:37 AM

wow, i love these. contrast yet still can see lots of detail

Jonathan, I want to apologize for my using Amado's name in reference to my comments and appreciation of your work. It's not easy to be an old man. Apologies, I hope, should mend this tear. Peace, Ben

Ben, now worries about calling me Amado. If it means I can have his MP, please continue.
RE your earlier post: I took these in Colombia. The environment was pretty heavy. My wife, from there, has had close family members very negatively affected by the violence there. Nothing happened to me though, thank God.

Andy, Pierre-Olivier, Artichoke and badpets,
thank you all for your kind comments.

Jonathan, two good pictures. My favourite is #2 with the young lady in the foreground.

Rolo · 07/19/08, 12:44 PM

Leicas were made for this.

Thanks for showing

Martin, I, too, like the woman in the foreground in that photo. Thanks.

Rolo, you're right--this was one of my crash courses in quick focusing...got the bird flipped to me that afternoon--proud moment that was!

Jonathan,
Great PJ photographs here, I'm sure Reuters is missing great talent here.
Thanks for sharing!
