Perfect choice of film material, the grainy structure makes this shot to be "on the spot". Almost perfect framing, just a little tight at left and right concerning the gun...
Wallace, As a Mother with a son in the military, I'm really moved by this photograph. I have to second Alan's comments. This image is one of those that has such an impact. The eyes really caught my attention. Love the grain in this print as well. Again, another fine example of your work.
Wallace, I like your image. The shallow depth of field and the grain add to the mood of the scene, and I really like the way the rifle is positioned in dead-center of the image.
