I would say most police uniforms around the world are blue actually - I only recall seeing black/grey-brown in the US and
Thailand. I do remember in 2004 dealing with the police in Munich who wore that green-brown uniform though. I just had my wallet go missing and a little old lady had apparently

cropped out of the frame. My preference would either have been a tighter crop eliminating the forearms/hands completely or (obviously not possible now) for a slightly wider frame. Just a minor compositional issue though - still a good portrait in a pretty sparse field.

handed it in to police with 300 euro intact. Phew. Anyway, when did they change that uniform? And was this portrait comissioned by them or did you specifically ask permission and tell them it was for use on
Knowledge?
458:
it is very well done and none of the cropping bothers me... it's just that... it's just a guy which I have a hard time associating being
Knowledge's best work... even though it does a great job on the article.

In
Hamburg they started in 2002 already. Here in Goettingen the new uniforms appeared just recently (this year). And you can still see many policewomen and -men in green uniforms. Work in progress. --

Sorry for the lack of US-Brit stereotype reinforcement. I've been looking for an officer in a nazi uniform all over
Hamburg. I guess I was just 70 years late... --
139:
On second thoughts, I don't think it would be better cropped tighter unless it was just a headshot, as that would eliminate a lot of the context of the shot.
376:
to be a cop, cops are supposed to be tough, not kindly old men who look like my grandpa. It's really weird to see. I'm just too used to the
American style.
