Nice capture. I see several stories here. All those bikers and only one veteran?

good choice for B&W, this image. I like the mixed emotions among the faces, and the varying degrees of attention, including the "salute", but all are taking a moment to acknowledge freedom, and possibly the cost of being "free"

You gotta love a salute while maintaining a firm grasp on your cup of whatever. I like all the faces here, and the significant variance in hair length.

This photo just draws you in. It tells a story. It's one you have to sit and look at for a minute. Nice work.

An image of stories. I find it compelling because I know so many like them. B&W is perfect for it.

Dubious patriotism perhaps. It is an interesting photojournalists moment. 7

I am not sure why but I love this picture. Great candid and the counteroint of perceptions of the 'type' of people that we are seeing and the act of allegiance they are participating in is fantastic

I want to know more about this image and the people in it

Nice B&W conversion - 9 for now but I may be back!!!
