Excellent capture. My only comment is that the expression on his face looks like he's one of the few that actually enjoys the situation! Sorry - my old anti-war feelings coming to the fore again!

@dobbino: Is it the look of a man happy to be fighting a war or is it a man happy to be alive????
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
I love the momentum this angle gives the figure. Strangely, he seems almost happy to do violence ...

@Ken McCoy: HAPPY OR RELIEVED?
Ted from South Wales, United Kingdom
Nice work Alun & great close-up...funnily enough I've taken a few statues lately and plan to shoot some more this weekend and you've shown me here the importance of getting up/cropping close.

Great shot bro and the B+W works really well.As for his happy looking face,maybe he´s just glad to still be alive after fighting through horrors that we can only imagine.
