This is a shot of my brother with his son before he boarded the plane for Afghanistan this weekend. This was truly candid seeing as he hates posing for photos.

ya I wish i could take back the green tint. it was a last minute decision to add a vintage feel and I'm not at all convinced it's helping. I've taken it off my subsequent edits... hindsight's always 20/20 darnnit.

If this is genuinely candid and not set-up, it's a poignant moment and a very sweet idea. Greens are a tad strong for me, I'd have lowered the saturation a tad.
kind of weird to see the soldier with his gun. I like the people in the background and the "green filter" style feel to the whole shot, which gives a retro- 70's film feel.
