That's a powerful image. The bullhorn jumps out of the frame against the black niqab.
I know they're wearing the veil because it's a part of their faith. But my Western-inclined mind automatically associates "mask and robes with eye peering out" as sinister, turning this into a bizarre assassin training camp.
I am curious about the choice of focusing on the bullhorn rather than the eyes of the protesters. Was it done to shift the accent of the image on the act of the protest itself, rather than the persons protesting?

This is an impressive shot with a perfect toning! I can almost hear her shout her message. Great catch!

Great image! Sends a message that in spite of their being all wrapped up..they can still be heard.
