Both stunning photos, but the first is my favourite. Thanks for posting.

Were'nt we all George, were'nt we all

One thing I noticed though.....there were loads and loads of amateur photographers about. But surprisingly few images on the forums ?

The picture I commented on has (in my opinion - and it was that I was expressing)) a sense of urgency and fear about it. It may not ellicit that response in your opinion, but I am the only arbiter of my own views.

I am well aware of the reality of the day, I was there and have posted my own collection of pictures in another thread. On the whole my pictures (in my opinion) reflect a rather jovial event that was centred on the "climate camp" in lower Bishopsgate.

Any picture of a photo-journalistic type cannot be divorced from the time/era in which it was taken. Photography of this type is not an isolated artform.

I work in Bishopsgate and only got out to photograph from 2.00pm ish. My only terms of reference were the news television bulletins up till then, and the violence inflicted on the policeman who fell would certainly have coloured his colleagues feelings for the rest of the day. I saw no agression from either "side", but then I did not get very close to the cordoned off area outside the Bank.

It was also noticeable that the "climate camp" demonstrators left lower Bishopsgate as they found it, whereas the area around Bank was a graffiti covered mess this morning

Nice series. I very much like the second one...there is a sense of urgency and fear in it.

I posted in the very early hours this morning and it still is there.

I was able to get out at lunchtime and grab a few pictures of the G20 demonstrations today. If you are interested you can view them here http://www.flickr.com/photos/peter_schluter/sets/72157616150080503/

Here are a few of my favourites

Interesting set, I like the penultimate one. I managed to get some myself in my lunch break, I will post them soon.

Wow. I think Martin just won "Judge of the year". Seriously, I add my thanks to the thorough way you considered the entries, and the effort you put into commenting on them.

I too am a great fan of this fortnightly competition, having to produce a piece of work rather than finding one in "Blue Peter" style.

Ralf's winner is superb as usual (well done). I very much liked TonyO's;RR's; and gartmore's entries this week. But I absolutely adore Dr Muhni's entry, well done to you too.

ps. yes Martin, there is a dog in the picture. I had taken the 300mm to the canal towpath to try and capture some wildlife and only got a couple of boring duck snaps which I deleted immediately. Walking back I only just caught this chap out of the corner of my eye walking his dog across the field, and quickly grabbed 3 frames one of which became this entry. It all happened so quickly, I had no thoughts of solitary or earth coloured tones when I captured it. I only saw this when I reviewed it on the screen. There is a lesson there I suppose.

Look forward to seeing your pictures soon.
