colors are dull would look much better in black and white.

I think it's a little washed out.

We did not fail, we are just waiting for the right moment to claim total victory. Well seen and nicely captured, especially with the harsh lighting. My only critique is that the shadow on the face of the soldier looking our way is a bit harsh. Still, nice capture.

Interesting photo. The lighting is a little harsh due to the fact it was shot in the middle of the day but I know that probably couldn't be helped.

I'm sorry, I'm not American I don't see the failure. I'm assuming this has some significance to American history. I just don't know it.

Wonderful shot, but it doesn't scream "failure" to me at first glance. A retreat or something similar certainly would have, but they are in the heat of battle in this photo and could be winning. Again, beautiful shot though. :)
