From the critique club:
A very nice image and very well framed. I would have focused on the soldier, but even so, it is not going to add any more interest. You did as good as anyone would have with this subject. The image certainly spells out its story and monument and flags reinforces the intent. Possibly needed was a subject, like somebody reading the inscription. Oftentimes, this is the problem of capturing these type of images, yes, they are good but when entering a challenge you want that extra touch.
You obviously know your way with the camera therefore the concern is more with just how it is that you want to present the image. Sometimes I see the possibility for a shot and I begin to visualize the best way that I would like to see the image. Sometimes we need to search and search until an idea excites us. I realize that models are not easy to come by, but hey, you could consider jumping right into the picture. Here you could looked at the inscription or look up at the face of the soldier. Sometimes, when a sight is ideal, I even return for the final shoot. So my advise is you know how to take a picture, but pay extra interest when you consider entering an image. Ask yourself, is there anything else that I can do to make this image more competitive. Look forward to seeing your future efforts.
