Thanks for good comment.

I think that all of us have a dream to be Capa.
Lucky this time I don't need to go to Iraq and just walk out of my home to take this series. :lol: :lol:

Ciao Jeko70,
I show my respect to you.
We expect G8 will be held in Sydney and our forum
members will be surely excited about it.

this is quality work mr poon
i like marsh road the best you captured the moment with artistic flair which further drives the point of the protest, you shoudl be proud with this monumental and bold work.

May i ask how you got so close were you part of a press core or something?
Iam sure other members of public wouldn't of got nowhere near the action

Wendellt,

That day was out of control as police was not well prepared of it.
I could go anywhere.

You did an awesome job on the coverage!
Personally, looking at where you had to place yourself for some of those shots, I think your a little nuts myself but thats to my benefit because I get to see your results so I'm not complaining! :wink:
