Tristan,

A very good set of pics, I particularly like 'Protest 6' where Elvis appears
to be threatening Bruce Willis. I do feel though, that a little bit of flash
(set to one stop wider than your lens setting) would have lifted the shadows
without making the whole thing look like a fifties postcard. I don't care
how good these lenses are, sometimes you have to give natural light a
helping hand. Alternatively a mini lastolite reflector can work wonders.
