#15 would have been great had all the cops had been wearing brand new white Trainers. Photoshop anyone

Some great work there ! I really like the processing on some of these - is that the Bleach Bypass setting (e.g #1 & 7) ?

Favs : #6 / 7 / 15.

Some excellent shots, this shows how essential street photography is, otherwise there would be no record.
Best regards, John

Despite the circumstances you kept your head to compose the photos really well. This is excellent photo journalism.

Make that a +3.

Some great work there. I like the shot of the kids posing. They love the attention don't they (perhaps that was half of the problem). Not that i'm suggesting any of these kids had anything to do with the trouble. Ear defenders though?

Superb set of images, cracking composition on them.
A great record of some unfortunate events.
Cheers

Great shots .. bit easier using a Finepix X100 rather than a Pentax DSLR I would have thought.

Well you've grassed him up there Mike - if these are Fuji Finepix images then we need to remind ourselves that the forum is for Pentax images only. If you'd like to replace them with a link if that's the case please....

Just looked on Flickr quote "This photo was taken on August 7, 2011 using a Fujifilm FinePix X100. "

But they do show a record of what was happening, and as such are great shots.
