1. The color block quality of the tarps draws the viewer straight into the moment. The details provide important context for the story and are strong enough to stand alone to tell this story. Very powerful expressions.
2. This powerful visual instantly informs the reader of a disgruntled town during a time when people are most involved in local politics. We love how the expressions and body language of the attendees tell a story.
3. Each layer tells a story in this frame. The symbolism behind police surrounding locals also adds to the power of the image. The expressions and gestures from subjects in the crowd perfectly illustrate the intensity of this event. Looks like a renaissance painting. Beautiful light and great crop.
