My favorite is the middle left one. A simple human gesture and Che Guevara. :-)

They are all beautiful. The top one, however, is mythic. I predict we will be seeing a lot of it.

Awesome photos and perfect timing.
The Glenn Beck hit piece should send a lot of traffic your way.

Critique:
Top Left: I like the concept but there’s too much space above the human pyramid on top. Also, that lamp on the right side is annoying. It would be worth getting closer as well as waiting for the flag to flap in the right direction so you can read it.
Top Right: Good. I’m always torn about whether or not to frame something like this with anonymous faces. But it works here.
Center Left: Works as a street photograph. I don’t know if it works as photojournalism however. This could be in Nepal. It could be in South America.
Center Right: The strongest photograph of the bunch.
Bottom left: Works as part of a series. I don’t know if it stands alone.
Bottom right: This is actually the best as far as “newsworthiness” goes. It would have been worth getting closer and moving a little to the right to avoid the hot spot on the windshield. But, on the whole, it works. It makes you ask “who are these people. Where are they.”
