An image of a Korean War Veteran taken during the Rememberance Day ceremonies held at the Grand Parade in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The gentleman in the photo was looking on as one of his fellow veterans was laying a wreath at the base of the cenotaph. His eyes seem to convey such emotion in this picture, as if he's reliving memories from long ago.

Just messing around with new techniques and some that I haven't used in a long, long time.

It may not show, but this image is heavily edited and cropped from the original. I'm surprised I got it to look halfway decent.

I really don't care what score this image gets. All I know is that I like it.

Background a bit too busy. Subject pops unnaturally from the background (oversharpened???)

The glow around the man is a little distracting. I like the expression you captured though. 6

Great emotive expression. He seems to have a bit of a halo effect going, though.

Very strong emotive and lighting on face. Highlights in background are a bit distracting.

That's some wicked haloing going on around the guy. If its intentional, I'm not sure it was the way to go here. Almost looks like some sort of album cover for a punk band or something. Good luck.

The depth of field looks very artificial here.
