Description
On the ground as protesters entered Waterfront Park in downtown Portland was a very large cache of signs to choose from if you were unable to make your own. This young lady however created her very own purple, pink and yellow "Get Rid of Bush" sign that blew away any of the mass produced "Stop Torture" or Bring the Troops Home Now" signs. She even colored in little symbols for "No War" and "Peace on Earth" It would be great if everyone made their own signs, it adds a personal touch.Related content

The look on her face is so incredible, and the sign is so sad and beautiful. This is an incredible shot

Who's to say her parents used her? My niece who is only 13 has a mind of her own, keeps up on news (makes jokes about FOX News), and speaks her mind. Of course children don't get the behind the scene news (some of us adults as well) like financial implications and general back alley political deals.

That personal touch really adds to the persons feelings about the war.
She almost looks confused and dismayed in this picture, like she doesn't understand the war, I would have to say many don't understand this war.
Great capture.

This is an absolutely magnificent capture! The look on the girl's face says it all.

That sign is so cool. I like the look on her face, and the contrast between her and the not-in-focus people behind her.
This might seem totally beside the point, but her shoes are lovely.

Very cool! I almost went to San Fran for the anti-war protest March 19th... It was however a little too far for me

I traveled to SF for the rally and it was awesome. I drove 2300 miles round trip!

simply amazing
I think this is one of your best photos to date, thank you for sharing it

A beautiful capture of the moment. I would have maybe liked a smaller F value, thus adding to the DOF, especially as the photo is in B&W. You are absolutely right about the "signs"... sadly I think that such innocence is usually lost as we grow old. In part, due to things like war. Compliments on the photo!

Thank you so muchβ¦ Unfortunately you are correct that a wider aperture would have made this photo so much better. That guy on the left side of the photo should not have so much focus. I once saw a documentary about James Nachtwey and he would change aperture for every shot depending on what DOF he wanted and he would shoot fast too! I canβt wait till I am that good

By the way, I believe there is a photoshop filter that can simulate the dof effect... 'lens blur' I think it is. But you have to do all kinds of masking and effort... and it won't be as good as the real deal

I do that
But it can be tricky to do that, AND exposure, AND focus...
I usually max out at 2 at a time, unless I'm doing something nice and slow... like landscapes

dang, i didn't find it in the objective (i assume you meant it is in the objective)! (lol). it took me ages to snap the auto-focus and put it into manual mode! I'll look for it next time i have the cam in my hands! Thanks!
