Not really, more about the contradiction in wearing camouflage in the urban environment, where it makes one stand out rather than blend into the background.
If I'd been able to get cooperation from the other kids, I was thinking about shooting a long line of kids' lower legs, but with only one in camouflage ... however, I got no such cooperation : )
I like the natural lighting. Compared with others in the challenge, it doesn't hold my interest as well, but I did feel pride for those serving when I first viewed your photo.
Interesting challenge for a macro... good spin. I like the angled line of the zipper... it give it some energy. I think a little more contrast would have made it pop more.
