I am really anxious about the scores and comments on this one. I have high hopes for it, but I am afraid I should have waited for a advanced editing challenge so I could have fixed up a couple of hot spots(my nose and rifle).
Hopefully, I won't get any political comments...
My guess: 6.3
Also, the Scuba Bubble and Jump Wings are not mine. I used the only to add to the picture. I was a Marine, but I was never qualified in either.

Was very anxious to see the scoring breakdown on this picture. It was at a 6.4 at one time, so I know it got hammered with a bunch of low scores. Normally, it wouldn't bother me a whole lot, but I just think there were a lot of political votes on this because of the subject matter. I feel that, technically, it is one of my better pictures, so the nine 1's kind of bother me... especially the one that I actually got a comment on. I am happy with the 6+ score, so I am not complaining, just venting a little frustration.

Wow, I cant believe this didn't score higher. As you already know, I expected it too. Nine one's? Crazy. Oh well, certainly still a very respectable score.
2nd look - the few, the proud, the....
Great portrait work. just think your approach is too asbtract for this old country boy. (Uncle Sam wants you, Usama!)
awesome lighting here...good stuff...clear and crisp. The best thing about this photo is how the right eye, (his left) is brought out in the middle of darkness. 7
This guy looks lost, I mean is he supposed to be a sniper or something? What's he aiming at? He looks like a girly man to me. He probably wets the bed at night and squeals when he sees spiders. Geez, I don't know what he's proud of - maybe his new makeup set - what kind of dude wears makeup?
