great image - as a street shot, as a statement and as an artistic image I think. don*t know if you did something to bring out the faces, anyway the result is that it reminds me of a painting - kind of "last supper" - showing all the individuals. also like the rhythm of the hands on the rh side.

iraklis Thank you Doro... Very complimentary observation...Cheers!!

I liked this street shot and I voted for in screen. beautiful compo and bw but can you tell me somthing more about the scene? thank you.

iraklis Thank you Giorgio.

This shot was taken on November 17th. This day is honoured every year in Greece because 35 years ago students who had barricaded themselves in the Athens Polytechnic in protest to the military (Junta) rule were attacked by tanks. As the tanks crashed through the school gates many students were killed and many more arrested. The flag is the same one that stood on the grounds then and you can still see the stains on it.

Giorgio Lorcet many thanks iraklis. Thre's a dramatic, interesting and touching story behind this shot. Is it a part of a reportage?

iraklis Thank you again : ) No, it isn't, just one of a series of pics I've taken lately of marches and protests in the centre of Athens near where I work.

Giorgio Lorcet Yes, I remind. I have seen on TV. great shot.
