Very pretty but around the sun it looks like neat image or an extream blur effect.

Ohmygosh. How did I miss this emotional photo. I didn't hear about this. Did he jump on purpose to commit suicide? Or was he diving. This is so sad, but this is such a nice tribute to him.

Wow, those eyes! Try it cropped much closer to the cat and really nailed in the center. Not so close you lose the ocean, though.

Sorry mate, but I'm not buying it :) Let me explain a little why, the expression: It's not an expression I'd expect to see in war. The composition is great, but he just doesn't sell war to me, he sort of looks a little out of place, and not like he's scared or angry. Faces tell the stories, and this story isn't selling to me. I simply don't believe in it. The BW touch doesn't work either, because it's too flat. Most war photos bw have artifacts, and pushed up contrast. And this just seem to simple.

I'm giving you 5, good luck with your entry.
