G20 summit
So after long debate about weather i should or should not go downtown Pittsburgh, u woke up and my dad had to drive in for work so i hitched a ride and took photos of the G20 summit protesters, and protectors. I was there pretty early in the day (10:30-2:30) and missed (because of time and location) the more rowdy protests. but here are a few of the better shots i got today. (almost all shot with 70-200).

thanks for looking, and any critiques or comments are gratefully accepted (this isn't my normal kind of photography).

Re: G20 summit
I think you did a good job capturing the different personalities at the event.
The cop using the fire hydrant as a stepping stool gave me a good laugh. :)

Re: G20 summit
You did a great job. I like #2 for the alignment of the monks against the police in the background.
But my favorite is the hydrant/police/horse shot! The action, the sign, the policeman in the background, and the horse's demeanor all come together nicely. Send it in to National Geographic - Your Shot.

Re: G20 summit
thanks guys, the mounting the horse photo has given every one a good chuckle so far..... (loupey ) i may just send it to NG, i made an account and was wondering what photo to submit first (i have about 5 in the process, ill have to make sure i picked the best one).
Thanks loupey, i took several of the monks in front of the police with either or in focus and at various angles... i like that one the best (although 2 or 3 go together really well).

Re: G20 summit
The picture of monks is amazing, nice job. Very interesting to see horses with face shields.

I like the nineth one down, with the military at the bridge.

I agree, you have many good shots here, but the shot with the bridge cordoned off with the Hummer makes the strongest statement for me. I was also surprised to see the horses in full riot gear.

that ons is my favorite, the city backdrop ( the tall mellon building is the one my father works in- and was in at the time) along with the diserted road/bridge... very apocalyptic feeling. i think it needs straightened though.
