George Floyd protests

Voting period ends on 8 Nov 2024 at 13:17:30 (UTC)

Original – A man stands on top of a car during the George Floyd protests in 2020. The protests were the largest to ever take place in the United States, and spread worldwide.

Reason

A really good image of the events, it shows the chaos and has relatively high EV. Framing is also good. It definitely catches my eye whenever I read the article. May need slight perspective correction, but I believe the image is supposed to line up with the man, and not the other objects, which makes sense.

Articles in which this image appears

2020 in Japan, George Floyd protests, George Floyd protests in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, United States racial unrest (2020–2023)

• Support - The Dutch angle helps create a sense of unease, so I'd definitely keep it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:30, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
• Support - Interesting scene. Looks a bit lazy at 5 a.m. in the morning and seemingly sort of staged because of that. The person’s gaze is definitely uneasy. All in all, good composition and a nice piece of photojournalism. --Argenberg (talk) 10:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
