 They made the choice to serve our country. These soldiers are just returning home from Iraq as of June 12, 2004. They were there 18 long months. This picture was taken at the Welcome Home Ceremony. This is my submission for Choice challenge.

The photograph, on its own, does not depict "choices".

I think you squashed these fine people a little when you resized. Otherwise, it's a great choice!

Good idea for the challenge, but the soldiers seem a little distorted.

Yes it is a big choice. Meets the challenge. Something doesn't look right though. I can't put my finger on it. The picture seems a bit distorted. Ok and I am going to nit-pick here but if they're in formation they should have the same type of head gear on. Don't worry that doesn't affect how I vote.

Great concept. The profile looks strange - maybe keep the proportion/aspect ratio locked next time when resizing.
