Description
G8 Summit protest in Quebec city, Canada.The smoke was just clearing from another volley of tear gas and I turned around just in time
to snap this shot. There are hundreds of people around, but because of the cloud, he seems so
alone.
shot with: Minolta XTSI 28-80mm lens at f 11
I also notice that I need a better scanner, sorry for the pixelation!!!

I only log into Deviant art once in a while. I am surprised people are still
seeing this image. It was taken so long ago.
I'm glad you have all enjoyed it.

I can't tell anything wrong with scanner, if at all it helps improve photos sometime especially the foggy eerie chin lifting resolute figure like this....

this is almost like a bad dream captured in a photo. the mask on the person's head makes it look like he/she is about to be executed. this is one lucky shot i should say, sort of reminds me of those photo essays from magnum. well done on the DD!

It's great. Also, I'm going to politicize this photo with my comments: this event is definitely correct/incorrect.

Very good timing, and also, very brave if you were in the area for it in the first place. Thank you for sharing this piece with us, those who would never have known otherwise.

The sadness that marks protests like this is in the use of a substance to overpower and make you feel isolated and that's why protesting should continue.

Most of the time I sigh when I see boring old photography just gray scaled, but this is just amazing when you risk yourself in moderately dangerous situations to bring us ART!

Stunning, and the story behind it only goes to enforce the image, such a wonderful, and lucky, if that's the word, capture.

Amazing. The one single moment in a massive demonstration when everything just seems to drift over to peacefulness. Great shot, I'm glad you turned in time.
Gratz on your DD

great picture, the only thing that i don't like is the frame with the text in it 
very well seen, very good reportage shot.

Quite and eerie shot, even eerier because if you look closely, I think you can see some people on a rooftop back there or something. Pretty ghostly 
Great timing on your part, I guess. Congrats on the DD~!
