Thanks for your comments.
The intention of the crop was to draw more attention to the faces in the crowd, but I think you guys are right, the crop just doesn't work. Ive tried a few other crops and they just don't seem to work as they always cut off at least one point of interest whether it be the guys hand or too much of his body- I think the native format probably works best in this case.
Regarding compressing the highlights, I think you're right, they could do with some work, but I think I still want to keep a bit of the harsh lighting as I think it makes it look more dynamic and also in reality there was an ENORMOUS spot light to the right that the BBC had just set up.
Very interesting information regarding the manipulation of images. I think the saddest thing about the Paul Hansen photo is that the faked look just removes any realism from the shot. That being said, It is a fantastic piece of work, It just unfortunately forces your mind to doubt its credibility, which in photojournalism is never a good thing.
