The Photo I Wish I Took...

I was in London for spring break and during my stay there were a lot of protests and riots about education, the government, etc. Thousands of people gathered the city in various locations including Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, and Covent Gardens. The mass influx of people caused a backup on the underground railway system. I took the tube during the peak of the crowd which meant that the station was packed and it was nearly impossible to move around. I wish I had captured the huge group of people because the variety of ethnicities, races, and genders present would have offered a unique and diverse composition of characters. The scene I am picturing is mostly people with little background to express how big the crowd was. I would have changed the depth of field to make the background blurry to indicate motion.
