I'm assuming from the title that this is a soldier, perhaps. The image itself is a little small and so a lot of the details are lost. It is always good to use the full 640 pixels on the longest side. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I can tell it's a person, but other than that not much. I do like the shadows on the floor. I also, thankfully, do not have a personal reference for the smell in the title.

powerful imagery... I like the way the soldier stands out against the shadows... the image could possibly be a tad sharper, but perhaps that would change the effect... great photo!

I worked on a burn ward and you are right, it has it's own smell that is hard to forget. I wish you had been able to zoom into the scene so I could see more of what is going on. It's too vague as it is now. There's no context other than the man.

Good emotional impact, subject helps with that. Lighting is pretty good, would like the focus to be a bit sharper. Definite loneliness feeling to the image (not sure if that is solely from the image itself though - I think the title has an impact on that too). A nice sound photo. 6

Great idea! Unfortunate about the flash shadow. A shot of the face would have been good too.

nice sentiment, but not the best photo.
