Hi Tom,

Firstly, you definitely have a "attention grabbing" subject matter in your "Flickr portfolio" but, IMHO,
the photo's should be placed in separate groups, according to subject matter -- photo stories; portraits (editorial or otherwise); -- and, as well, most newspapers when looking for photographers
want to see a collection of sports, spot news, stand-up/feature, entertaintment and studio/environmental portraiture (w/and w/o lighting).

Also, I would recommend you check out this site: The British Press Photographers Association -- BPPA and it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to join up and/or
browse through some of the 'member's galleries' to get an idea of what 'working PJ's' portfolios
are looking like

FWIW, when I mention grouping photo's together (kind of like an photo story/essay); here is
an example ...of what I mean (and I hope it makes sense to you). It is a selection of photo's I took of the arrest of an "environmental activist" here in Vancouver several years ago

I don't this will help much ...but I do think that hooking up with the BPPA will help you immensely

Cheers and all the best in your PJ career.
