Lee's image from the TUC march. Colin Philpott, the Director of the National Media Museum in Bradford said "It really grabs the viewers attention and the photographer has captured a decisive moment in the afternoon."
Eion Begley's shot 'MFI', captures the downtrodden mood of the recession. The scale of the defunct company sign juxtaposed against the small dirty blue car creates a gloomy image.
 This is a good shot however i feel that the subject matter feels a little too much like homelessness. Although it's a very serious part of the recession, the picture is perhaps a bit confusing because it says 'homelessness' so clearly. However i think Shooting in the underpass against the light works really well because it disguises the identity of the subject.
