This one didn't come up for me in voting, or I'd tell you what I gave it. I would have guessed this good for a 5.25-5.5. The average of just over 5.0 seems a bit harsh for this. Looks like an almost perfectly even vote breakdown. Too many 5's and everything else nearly canceled out.

I can see some possible issues that held it down (Not looking at other comments until I leave my own):

-waterline is centered top to bottom, resulting in a static composition. Perhaps crop about 15-20% off the bottom, to just under the clump of grass on the left. For me that would make the composition flow a little easier.

-Colors are good, but perhaps too busy. No one element seems to stand out from the others.

Hope that helps some. Unfortunately, it is a classic 5. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing really stands out about it either. These are the hardest ones to comment on.

Added: Looks like my feedback matches up fairly well with the others.

Very emblematic, especially the candidness and the show of arms makes it more serious - the fall colors add a poignancy as well -given the idea of remembering the fallen. I'm not being crass by saying that either, their sacrifice is well taken.

Another military photo for the USA - you guys sure are a warmongering lot aren't you? At least this one has living people in it. Nicely composed but the fact they are all looking away from us doesn;t help us engage with them.
