[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Moaists emptied their camps, and scoured the countryside for villagers to force to march alongside them. The leader Prachandra was to speak, (he did not). Maoists re-educate entire villages, take what they want without paying, and stay at the best hotels. They pay for nothing. Now they have been "elected" into power. Nepal is on the verge of losing all rights to religion and personal choices. Communism rules with an iron hand.

Very good picture of crowd, very precise and neat.
Maybe corrected a bit vertical. But the color creates a beautiful dynamic.

Image documentary very clear.

A good job,
Thx for sharing.

Excellent shot Gloria, capturing a pretty dramatic moment in Nepal's history! Let's hope things will get better...That may be an unrealistic thought, but I really wish them well!
TFS!
Best regards,
Diana
