Nice work... and this is my favourite helmet shot in this challenge, though it's a bit cluttered for my liking, in that the detail in background and the boxes takes the interest away from the main subject.

A good retro image. You were looking for a old fashoined war type image?
It worked. 8/10

Exquisite shades of gray, beautiful composition and subtle yet effective message. They don't get any better.
