I missed this. Fabulous presentation. The pattern has a powerful sense of unity.

One of my challenge favorites. Should have placed higher, though I guess anything over a 6.000 is good in a Free Study.

It reminds me of some of M.C. Escher's works were a repeating image is transforming. (not voting)

Nice photo. I always wondered why that band of the hats is sitting just under their lips, is their a reason for? If you know you can pm me, I'm not voting this challenge.

A poignent image which is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint it is very effective demonstrating the rites of farewell - something that this reviewer can appreciate on a personal level. One minor issue with the partial exposure of the officers at the bottom of the image breaks up the geometry of the massed ranks that the author obviously tried so hard to achieve. A little bit of crop would have made this perfect. It works well as it is and should be a top finisher - certainly within the top fifteen. An excellant tribute image. Well done.
