The General

Comment by Gringo:
I am seeing this image for the first time tonight. I don’t spend as much time browsing the photos here as I once did but it is a pleasant surprise to stumble upon this hidden gem .
I didn’t vote on this challenge, but I would have placed this in my 10’s. The photo captured my interest instantly. The title actually made me want to study every detail of his face to see what time has done to the General. After reading your comments I can understand why you might have selected this as a “best” photo. It’s an excellent portrait and it carries the visual emotion that is so hard to capture in a photograph of a stranger.
Your comments didn’t include any information on his service record and I’m left wondering if the title was selected because it fit so well, or if he is indeed a General. Either way, inspiring work.

A very nice and interesting study of something like a fading memory. Nice work, John.

Goshdarnit, when I saw this I had this weird inkling it was yours but I didn't put it in my comment because I figured I was so unlikely to be right... sigh! :o)
