not enough dof for me...... for this type of shot, id much rather have just one focus point like the cannon, or have most the soldiers in front have focus. but thats just me, other than that, nice use of colours.
i like the shallow depth of field: there is enough of it in focus for me to see what the things are withut boring me with seeing to many. the use of the vibrant primary colors is also a plus. the content is not the most interesting
I don't see the advantage of going with this shallow DOF. Especially not using this angle for the photo. I think it would be more successful in a portrait format with the cannon pointng up. Also with a little more room in front of the cannon. Then, put the focus on the cannon thus deemphasizing the focus on the troops.
after i shot my pic i thought of this, the same night even. What would make it better: focus: it needs to ALL be in focus. if the middle east was perhaps the setting - with two opposing armies or similar, and give 'em flags for the US, iraq, etc. Great idea, poor pic and fair implementation.
