| Powerful statement. Of course very true as well. The lighting and poses on the figurines is captivating. I know they're fake, but it pulls me in nonetheless. Good work. |

| very good idea, fits the topic well, like the sharp focus and the blurred background, might have liked it better in color |

| well...technically this photograph is excellent but its a little cheesy. Well, maybe thats not right word for such a sobering subject. My point is, war is a serious subject, of a sort, and the plastic soldiers seem to be satirical, and I'm not sure if your point is satirical or not. |

| You ain't kidding! I love this shot for the message. The crop is a wee bit tight but I don't care! 10! |

| I like the message and the way it's been conveyed in this photo. I especially like how you've emphasized Lincoln's gaze with the shadow lines that lead right to the standing soldier. Very effective. Good job. |

| so true. great lighting, composition and set up. your use of toy soldiers really illustrates to me the way the lives of people are treated in the name of the almighty dollar |

| This is the kind of thing I can actually see on the front cover of serious magazines... Excellent use of lighting. |

| Unfortunately true. Good choice of b&w - illustrating the starkness of war and money. I especially like the 'prison bars' shadows at the top - really pushing your message home. For a final, wonderful, touch, you've got one of the US's founding fathers looking down on the mess he's created. Powerful stuff. So, in terms of meaning, I think that you've done a splendid job here. Visually? Not bad. 8 |
