Info George Floyd protest in Grand Army Plaza, Brooklyn in June 2020. This major plaza was one of the most active protest sites at the height of the events last summer. I know protest pictures, inevitably chaotic, don't usually go over well at FPC, but I have to try once in a while. :) all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 21:00, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As protest photos goes, this one is actually well framed with the chaos contained in a nice compo. --Cart (talk) 21:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support Looking at this just as a composition, it could be quibbled with at the margins (possibly a slightly more generous crop at the top and conceivably on the right, though who knows what that would look like?), but it works well for me and we should make some allowances for this being an opportunistic shot of a demonstration of people in motion. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:08, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support One of the best protest photos I have seen, it concentrates much of the protest and its message in a single nice image. --Aristeas (talk) 08:25, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unfortunately it did not work for me. I do not see any particular attraction in the photo. --IamMM (talk) 09:38, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Me neither, especially the back of the person right front. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:05, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Correct me if one has already been featured, but I think a relatively new photo of a demonstration or similar event will never be featured on this site. Only photos that are already extremely famous iconic historic photos, such as the nurse kissing the soldier at the parade in New York for the end of World War II, might (or might not) be featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:13, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are thinking about the Historical section of FP where iconic photos reside, this is for the Events where we have similar photos of people expressing opinions, gaterings and demonstrations. We need more great photos of contemporary/current events of all kinds. FP is an anomaly in the photography world since we focus more on photos without humans than with. There are also contemporary photos that are already as iconic as V-J Day in Times Square; such as Taking a Stand in Baton Rouge, The Woman with the Handbag, the Patrick Hutchinson photo. These are so far copyrighted but if you can find free photos like them, they are most welcome. --Cart (talk) 07:42, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I take your point about the copyrights and thanks for the links to FPs. I think the 2nd photo wouldn't pass if it were nominated at FPC today. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:50, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"2nd photo", perhaps not, but I'm glad we have it since FPC has arthritis and is becoming stiffer and less flexible with each year. We also manage to scare away new blood with new ideas after only a few FPs. Not good. --Cart (talk) 08:04, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per others --Uoaei1 (talk) 16:38, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support At first I was skeptical, but I know Ryan wouldn't have nominated this for FP without a reason. And the more I think about, well, it may not be an iconic photo of last summer's protests, at least not yet, but to me it does a great job capturing the moment for the future. We can see that it was a nice late spring day out, that it was during the pandemic, that the protesters were not blocking traffic, that their message was generally positive, and we got the unintended irony of the center of attention being on two young white people while the only black person easily identifiable as such has her back to the camera. And the traffic light makes a nice dividing line in the picture. Protest photos usually aren't going to be natural places for a photographer to show off their compositional skills, and I've seen (and maybe even taken) many a lot worse than this.
