putting modesty aside, i freaking love this photo. i don't feel arrogant saying that as i know that there was a huge element of luck involved. i took a couple of shots before this where the framing and focus weren't quite right - but managed to get it spot on after the ladies clocked me taking their picture and began to laugh about it. usually i prefer it when the subject doesn't know that their having their picture taken - natural shots always seem better than posed alternatives. then again it's the fact that their reaction was natural and spontaneous that makes the difference. i took this during an anti-racism march in the independence day celebrations in sucre, bolivia and this was by far the best placard that was on display.

here's the original
