I don't know which one I love more.
BW or colour.

Most prefer the bw. In the end me too. It's more concentrated on the message.

Ah, so you think the colour can be distracting.
Mmm, have to think about it.
Yes it can.

How wonderful this shot is!
The story is reminiscent of an occurrence in former Yugoslavia in the late 80s when people protested against the somewhat totalitarian government in the streets for days on end. In support, they were given free bread, pastries and yogurt by the bakers all across the country. And as the police were forced to stand guard and keep the protests as peaceful as can be (much as they privately sided with the people), the protesters in turn "fed" the policemen by passing the bread and pastries to them, recognizing that those men were probably hungry and tired.
I never forgot that story. And this shot just tallies in so well with it.

Thanks Aleksandra! For me it's the best compliment, if someone realises the story behind the picture in his own life. So thank you again!

I agree. It's the best tribute an artist could ever ask for.
You're more than welcome.

The B&W version's contrast is working a lot better than the coloured one, I think. The bright white hat of the man in the foreground against the dark armory of the guards is amazing!

Hopefully there was rat poison in it.
