 A discussion between the lady on the left who did not understand the man's opposition to the war in Iraq. The guy had served in the Navy in WW2 and realised the futility of war as there are never any winners. The discussion became rather heated in the end which was when I snapped this picture.

I wish they could be "discussions: instead of always turning into arguments. :/ Good PJ type of capture. The black white works well to downplay the (probably) distracting background

A little overexposed in spots. I like it though

Nice shot, maybe could have done with a tad more contrast in the conversion to b&w to bring the two proponents out slightly

Nice capture - Her highlighted back is very distracting though and takes us away from the main subject. Like Blair looking at her.

This image tells a story, I like that......Think it would do better with better focus. The back of the person on the left is a tad bit overexposed.

I think this is what candid photography is about! Something is happening here. The glimpse of Blair's face on the poster makes me laugh for some reason. Good use of b&w.

Very worthy of the challenge. I like his passion. I like that we don't see her face, her expression - to me that adds interest.
