Even after multiple views, it's sometimes hard to define the author's intent. In those cases, it's often best to just give the benefit of the doubt to the author and just let an opinion fly. This is a great image in particular with the intentional (unintentional?) starfield which technically is a source of night light not ordinarily seen in areas that are light polluted. Simple and direct. Ah heck with it - well done.

Great image. preparing for battle. Well captured. Lighting is great and I believe the tone you gave this image works too.

I think it's an interesting photo, but not for stock. A shallower DOF would be nice, the people (especially the man in the white shirt) in the background are distracting.

The slight saturation,excellent detail and overall emotional impact are stellar. The soft relief foreground leading to the incredibly sharp subject is masterful. Very effective use of space to impart a feeling of intensity on the part of the subjects. A sure fire ribbon winner.
