The relocation of a whole population is an event worthy of coverage; alas, we get none other than from people like yourself. The images are shown slightly darker than I would prefer on my monitor, and the contrast is sometimes more than I like. I hasten to add that that is my preference, and your images are well within the range of acceptable contrast and tone. The composition and subject focal point are done well. Although, some images cry out for a wider lens (e.g., the man sitting w/ the condemned buildings behind him). Very well done.
