I'm surprised so few comments, Pat and at the score. This was one of my highest photos. It was stark and powerful and emotional - very photo journalistic. I "got it" maybe a lot didn't - sometimes we don't spend enough time on each image for our brains to tick over, especially in a large challenge.
I like the set up you made, i found the twigs and other business to be approriate, since war is a noiisy messy place, not peaceful and unclutteres at all.
The one thing that did bother me was that the camera was focused on the toy soilder to the left of the "real" soilder. I would have liked the little guy with the gun pointing to the photo to be the one that was most sharp. The gun was your leading line, so thats where i wanted the crispness to be.
Those voters with no cams will do it to you every time ;)
