This reminds me more of a paparazzi shot than real journalism.

I am commenting on the 1st 25 pictures I vote for (to give good, bad, and average a chance at comments) and yours came up. I saw the thumbnail and was hoping and yet dreading this one.

This picture makes me uncomfortable because of the subject obviously, but also from where it was shot. Whether decision or because you had no choice, the "behind the trees" shot definately makes this seem like I'm looking at something I shouldn't be. But it's hard not to look.

I'd probably rotate it just a bit. Well done.

Wow. The epitome of "f/8 and be there". Too a bad the officers faces are covered. Just the heavyness of this photo makes it possible that it could be on the front page of small town newspaper.

Looks like you were hiding in the bushes?

Unfortunate that you didn't come out from behind the trees for this shot. You missed what could have been a great caputre.
