Description

Pictures from the Egyptian revolution which started on the 25th of jan.

Shot at Tahreer Sq. just days before the success of the Egyptian revolution, People refused to leave Tahreer sq. , they still had hope after very difficult times. Demanding their rights in the most peaceful way, I'm proud to say this is the greatest revolution in the history.

No manipulation has been made to this picture, I don't know why people seem to think this is two pictures put together.

When they say a picture can say 1000 words, this is the kind of picture they are talking about.
Everything about it is powerful from the flag, the fist in the air and the strong look on his face. Even the fact the photo is black and white makes it so much more powerful. The fact that the forground is only in the bottom part and is blury is perfect.

You can tell this photo is about a revolution.

If there was ever a book relesed about this time in Egypt, I hope this picture is on the front cover.

Wonderful job.
