Subject: Voting rights activists clasp hands.
 
Link: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3032092/?ta=y  Look for the "Fight For The Right To Vote" article and launch the slide show picture # 5.

Caption: Voting rights activists clasp hands at a rally before starting the third and final march from Selma to Montgomery, on March 21, 1965.
 
Critique:
 
The picture was shot up close. All of the people are in focus, but the background is a little out of focus. The CVI is not excatly in the middle of the pictue bringing into play the Rule of Thirds. The clasp hands provide a leading line going to the guy in front with the watch. The picture captures the emotion of the activists showing that some looke worried and some look determined.

I had a hard time finding the photo. Next time use one of the new suggested sites.

Good critique
