Stef I think apart from #5 these really could be taken anywhere and don't communicate enough of the tension and dynamics of what is happening.

4 and 5 resemble a protest. The rest seem like faces in the crowd. They are good photos, but I do not get "Strike in France".

Craig, there have been big strikes in france the past few weeks because the government tried to introduce new laws that will make it easier for employers to sack young workers. So all the youths have been protesting these laws.... and I saw on the french news yesterday that the government has withdrawn the laws and is going to re-write them.
So basically the strikers won.... again... which isn't surprising in france.

I understand the strike. Not seeing it in these photos though.

For me a strike is a volatile event. The tension of the protesters maybe a little more dynamic.
