 This is my best friend Brenden, he is going into the army soon. This was taken when I went to visit him for the last time before he leaves. We have known each other for years and have been through alot together, I have always looked up to him and called him my hero. So I got him a dog tag to remind him, while he is being America's hero, he will ALWAYS be mine. This was the hardest goodbye I have ever had to say.

Good clarity and use of DOF. Well done.

IMO a macro should be much, much closer...

I think its a great picture, but more like a portrait, not a macro.

cross processed? fits the theme, too bad about the overexposed nose bits
