It should be -- you use selective focus extremely well here. The mask blurs the identity of the person within, and you blur the mask, which places the emphasis here squarely on the law. And how is the law dealing with this outburst of anger, with its symbols of death and war? The policeman seems to have turned it all off, and momentarily slumbers peacefully in the shadows. I was there with you, and never noticed this powerful incongruity. Another example of your amazing eye at work.

Wow!! Speaks volumes about our security! I just love the masked face thrown way out of focus which makes it even more scary, especially with the cop taking a snooze right behind him. Wonderfully done, Tim!
