    That's a very nice photo, but I feel that if it had been framed way wider, so that the context were in the photo rather than given only with words, it would be more effective at communicating the emotion. But then, with it framed that much wider, one might not as clearly notice her expression as clearly, and thus one would need to again use words to explain. Still, the wider framing would be my preference for this photo, but it works very well as it is.

    Oh, by the way -- if you don't want my opinion, don't read what I wrote above. 😉

    Thanks for your comment. I looked for a composition this was exactly in my mind. But If I framed wider from the point I made the composition, there would not be much of the march anyway. She was on the corner of the march's path and I have to turn my back to the crowd to capture her face. There was nothing related to march behind of her. The only way to frame more of the march was to compose the shot as a profile shot. Imagine, she was at the centre, I was at 7o'clock position , if I was at 9 o'clock there could have been more of the march and her profile.
