This is a shot of my brother with his son before he boarded the plane for Afghanistan this weekend. This was truly candid seeing as he hates posing for photos.

ya I wish i could take back the green tint. it was a last minute decision to add a vintage feel and I'm not at all convinced it's helping. I've taken it off my subsequent edits... hindsight's always 20/20 darnnit.

I think the green tint would be fine if you turned down the saturation a bit. Great idea for a shot.

I don't care much for the greenish tint, but this one is full of emotion. One of the better ones I've seen in the challenge.

If this is genuinely candid and not set-up, it's a poignant moment and a very sweet idea. Greens are a tad strong for me, I'd have lowered the saturation a tad.

kind of weird to see the soldier with his gun. I like the people in the background and the "green filter" style feel to the whole shot, which gives a retro- 70's film feel.
