For me, the background is very distracting. A tight crop around the rock might have been a better.

Bumping to a 10. I keep coming back to this image, as it makes me smile.

4th New York Independent Battery - Devil's Den - Gettysburg Battlefield

Since I'm not a paying member, I couldn't vote on this image. But if I did I would have given it a 5, as it clearly meets the challenge. There are two things that bother me about this image.

1. The light doesn't look balanced. The background has a bunch of detail but the face of the soldier has very little. Since the soldier and background are basically facing the same direction, my eye expects about the same amount of detail. As is, the background looks over processed.

2. The crop is a little tight for my taste. A bit more space on the bottom and sides would have given the monument more breathing room and better convey the size of the battle field.

As is, it is a monument shot with the background being dominate.

I gave my only ten in this challenge to your image. My image is a very nice stock photo but your image provided emotion. I think you need to continue shooting for yourself, as the final product is superb. Adding to my favorites.
