Russ your suggestion is worthwhile and thanks for the feedback. It is a scene that can be construed in many ways. That is why I posted it. Something different? And thanks to the others. :) I had been shooting a rally in Edinburgh for Scottish Independence and earlier I had seen the photographer standing on the green foldaway seat, seen in the corner of the image, taking shots. The foldaway seat looks like a good device to have.
