My husband and I drove down to Taos this afternoon to talk a walk and eat dinner. We happened upon this Anti-War protest on the plaza and I got some pictures for the Photojournalisn Challenge. It was my first time at any sort of protest or demonstartion. People didn't mind me taking pictures at all - I think they thought I was from the newspaper!

There's a lot of "things" in the shot, but no real point of interest. A way it could've been great was focused in tight on mainly one person - perhaps someone very passionate about the subject and in mid-yell about something. I'd like to see better focus - the guy right in the middle in the gray shirt is blurred a tad to my eyes.
You've definately captured all of the parts of your headline.. the protest, the place.. but I feel like there is a bit of emotion missing. Perhaps a closer shot of one persons expression or a more clearly defined focal point would help?
News story happening. Good capture. That impeach bush poster sticks out well, so I'm not totally dependent on the title to know what's happening. Great job.
good photojournalistic shot, th esign just left of center is a bit hot and i can't make out what it says shich would be nice to go along with the other signs here.
