Very well executed & dynamic photo...should of scored much higher. I think you handled some tough light very well, and maybe even made it work to your advantage.

Just a little dark but the meaning has been conveyed very well. 8

This has a muted tonal quality that I think you may get hammered for, but I think it's amazing... reminds me of pictures from the 60's for some reason.

Very emotional image. Nice PP without being over done. Only wish he was standing a few inches forward so the flag would be covering the background next to his face.

The colors seem off. I like it, but something needs to change before it becomes an excellent photo for me.

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

Sad memories, a fallen friend. It is really too bad the time of day was not better suited to this type of photography.
