Nice portrait. Definately meets the challenge. The only real weakness I see in it is I find it slightly softer than I would like to see for a military image. My personal belief is military images need to be crisp and clean with a strong focus rather than the softness. Other than that you have a good portrait going here.

Fabulous portrait, although the soft glow may not be the most appropriate match with the subject! 8

Very under rated in political battles. A true hero simply for placing life on the line. Bumping up to 6

A nice portrait. I like the black and white, help to bring attention to his nice face. I wish it were sharper and I wish his expression revealed more about him.
