The subjects in this photo are too centered, the reflection off of the posters is distracting if you had moved to the left or right and taken the shot at an angle this would have been improved significantly.

I don't think you have maximised the potential of this shot, as it is a lot smaller than entries are allowed to be. The crop also seems really quite centred. Is an emotional shot, which appeals to a lot of people, but just needs a tweak to work a little better.

Comment by emorgan49:
Wonderful sentiment, though not the strongest portrayal of it. And not a very good photograph. My-son-the-marine has only 16 days left of his four years of service. It has been a long four years for a Mom. He has close friends who have died and lost limbs. I'm so glad that you had the courage to enter this statement. Unfortunately it is not as clear as it could be. I was going to comment that the pizza boxes on the right were distracting but then realized they are crosses. The sun glare on the signs is a DPC nono, as is the slight tilt of the horizon. When the subject is placed in the center like this, it is less interesting than one placed off center. However, I am going to give you a 10 for guts and for my 21 year old son who survived and his buddies who did not.

This would make a good photojournalism photo. I find the white bit in the foreground distracting though, and I think you should have used the full 640px size.
