Tough Day for Montreal's Finest? Photo

Photographer’s Note

You may have guessed, I've returned to uploading more of the pictures I took in Montreal back in April (2005). I was (again) walking on Rue Sherbrooke. My friend Gayle and I were going to dinner (Montreal has some of the finest restaurants), when we noticed a commotion ahead. Some protesters had just finished demonstrating for the day, and were dispersing. Motorcycle cops were lined up along the side of the road, creating a visible presence. The second officer from the left had apparently worked a double shift. (8^)

I cropped the image, added a small border, adjusted the levels, and sharpened and resized it before uploading.

Wow what a line up! This is really funny and cool. It seems the yawning cop had the toughest time! Great timing in the shot!

Nice. The yawning cop certainly draws attention to himself. The crop is great and your choice of frame is nice.
Also the people walking in the background add a kind of reality to the shot, and prove it wasn't set up.
Good coments too.
