I love this shot these two guys walked the pride parade route holding hands while being screamed at by protester the whole time. I had never seen a pride parade and was ony to proud of these two guys.

A very important photograph, it's an interesting moment in time captured well. Technically it is not the best photo in this challenge because of the harsh light, etc. that comes with taking candids. Apart from that though, I give you extra points for posting this. I was considering these for my entry but another one won out. Good luck!
Too contrasty for my taste...You've lost some detail (like in the back pack) that should be there, I fear. And I would have liked to have seen their feet or less of their legs.. cropped at the ankles (or any joint) is a no-no, I think.
Excellent use of paradox! Lighting could have been better, but, sometimes you have to take what you got to get a shot like this. Scoring high for the photojournalistic quality.
WOW!! OMG!! I've been looking at this for a couple of minutes studying the scene, enjoying the powerful juxtaposition, and then (being a little slow I know) it just hit me like ton of bricks that you desaturated everythingn but the gay couple, illustrating how black & white the anti-gay marriage viewpoint is. There may be some technical imperfections to nitpick, but nothing that takes away from the powerful impact of how you composed and processed this. I can't wait to share your shot with my family/friends when the voting is over.
