Good choice of the golden look Phil! It makes it look very "historical" I guess, he looks deep in thought and troubled. Nice composition and framing.
Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's going on out there.

Two excellent portraits one after another, you are getting really good at this. The composition is great and the golden look makes this image a lot warmer. Nice work.

I have a hard time viewing your images, as I get teary eyed. You're so young, so brave, and so far away from home. So, if you don't see me critiquing a lot, you'll know why.

I like this one a lot because of the composition and the great golden tones you have created. Golden like a soldier, like you. Thanks for sharing all these wonderful shots, Phil. Keep safe.

i like real war photography there is a sadness & reality in it,moreover its dark portrays something about human misery.
I like the face of the soldier its tense...
I have done workshop see it..
I corrected overexposed brightness on nose & left chin,sharpened it

Nice 'newsy' portrait but a trifle over exposed on helmet and left side of face needs lightning up a bit. Apart from that an excellent photo

An easy target!
With that costume seems more american than you! I their weapons will point americans some day.
But regarding the photo, I like the portrait and the colours. Hope we can see photos from the other side also!

Great work! I like that, a typical war picture. The colour and contrast change make it even more war like, you did it well.
Thanks,
Christiaan.
