The tones and border work well for this(and i usually hate borders). Good job overall but I think maybe his uniform is a little washed out.

The antiquing is a good idea and seems very appropriate, not a big fan of the lightening around the edges though. Great composition and subject matter. Looks like there was a lot of gunsmoke in the air. Well done!

Nicely antiqued photo...unless, of course,...you used a DeLorian! :)

A war movie from the point of view of the losing side. Those are the best war stories, imho. I like this poster. You've well simulated the photography of that time. The pose conveys death well, including the depersonalization of his head being out of view. Instead of a face, we just have a flag waving futilely in the background. A nice tension between image and title.

Could be a poster for an old movie. I like it.

Good tones and take on the challenge. The soft focus bothers me a bit, but I'm sure you were going for that effect. It does look like an old photo.

duotone is perfect here. It relaly looks like an old picture. Nice edging, too. Is that a border? How did you do it? The composition is very good, too, except my only negative comment is that the guy in the background is a bit too washed out, especially compared to the trees to the right. Perhaps just a touch less dodge on him. Thinking this will be in top 10 % for sure.
