About the Image(s)
In 2021 the French Government required a Covid 19 vaccination for it's citizens to travel on public transportation and other activities. This was one of several protest that popped up during this time. The photo was taken on Ave Bosquet where I took several shots and I chose this one for the sign, flags, and a good clean shot of one of the marchers. There were thousands of people in this peaceful (and musical!) protest.

Well seen and well done. I would not change anything. Posted: 07/07/2025 20:52:29
Richard - nice capture of the protest. When I was on sabbatical in Angers, France in 2008 I was surprised how often the people protested and/or called strikes. It's truly an aspect of their daily life.
You did a great job with post-processing - the final edit is brighter and appears more in focus.

Great photo and tells the complete story. I like the French flags to give location and the text is legible. Great shot! Posted: 07/13/2025 00:41:31
