Politics on the street - Catman
by fredcat

the sign reads Only with peace can peace be made. she is just one of three supporting the left point of view while across the street there are at least seven people with signs supporting the actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I note with interest the lady is standing under a no right turn sign LoL.

A great political catch - even with a building and a wall they want to go right :-)

Funny how much an umbrella lifts a picture up!

The graphic composition really help to frame the character, really good find!

What a find!
Although this is a low cost campaign, she's well protected against the elements! LOL
Great graphic strenght, and I like how her black shape stands out from the clear background.

lol Shirley this left vs right battle on main street has gone on since the Iraq war stated, every Friday afternoon both sides are out with their signs.
I think you are right about the no right turn sign.
the people on the right were not as interesting as the left maybe next time I will photograph them except the sun is in the way.

This strong graphical image with clean lines and limited colors is very effective. For me, the umbrella and its shadow are the crowning touch. Excellent shot, Richard. --Stefan

LOL I love the sign! I should say the 'signs' and I have a funny feeling she was very concious of the sign above her and planted herself appropriately beside it. Us peace lovin' folks are clever that way. HA!

I noticed the sign too, and chuckled. You've caught an effective little vignette here.
