Description This photo was taken on February 14, 2003 when i was walking up the road to the Anti War March on Sawston Street in Melbourne. Between 200,000 and 400,000 people showed up that sunny day to take place in the march, and when i arrived i couldn't believe my eyes in how many people were there, as the organisers were looking at a turnup of around 10,000. I have some photos of the crowd, and i might add some of them later.
This photo was taken in colour, and then manipulated in photoshop to fix up some areas. Specs for the photo is:

Nice to see other anti-war protesters! I have been involved in a march for peace before - the crowd number is less because I live in Toowoomba - but the numbers in some cities like Sydney and Washington are overwhelming.. I do hope that our message has been taken seriously by the PM and that our efforts for peace have not been made in vain.

As for the deviation, a very nice angle... The birds, I thought, was very symbolic as they represent the dove, the symbol for peace
