A lovely shaped tree! I'm wondering what it looks like during summer months. Must be beautiful. Works well in B&W!

This really nails the challenge. I like the starkness of the bw for this.

Very nice shot. Heart wrenching, especially with all of the friends and people I have in my life serving.

Great detail and feeling on the right soldier, but the crop on the left soldier really wrecks this for me.

I Like the idea you have gone with for this photo. The mood is set, the black and white processing adds to the mood, the shallow depth of field works well.

However, the crop is distracting. I would have preferred that the background person does not have part of his face cropped off. I don't know why you have done this (unless that was all the capture you had). Also not sure about the crop at the bottom right corner. A little more space below and to the right, just for that the Rank is not crossed, and run the crop along the back of his shoulder.

I almost used it again for Silence. My goal is to use it every other challenge until someone calls me out on it.

Emotive! Sometimes you may find yourself in a position that may not be possible to get the perfect angle. Editorials are like that. If you only could have moved to your right to include the background figure more and moved the subjects closer this could have been a 10. It contains all elements for this challenge and technically perfect.
