Nice! I didn't realize the shot I'd seen in your portfolio was in a challenge. I don't get the time to vote as much as I'd like to these days, or I'd have probably guessed this was yours (not mine.) :-)
Very nice work on the shot, Cory. Nothing wrong with the color at all, and the DOF is sweet.
The only thing that kept this image from scoring even higher (setting aside ridiculous political voting) is the font. This is a great photo and works perfectly with your quotation. If you had gone with more of a classic font, at least on the word Home, the message would have much more impact on the poster and the whole package would just come together perfectly.
This was a great capture. I think the score this got was well deserved.
Ohmy!! This is off-the-chart awesome!! What a beautiful model and stunning photography! All of you wonderful servants of our country: You have my total awe and respect!!
No one who hasn't been there (except maybe a family member of someone who has) can ever really understand the depth of what you've produced here and how it hits at the heart of Marines and other servicemembers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Excellent work Devil Dog.
