A Soldier from the Iraqi Army takes up a defensive posture after being engaged by insurgents during a large scale combat operation in Talaa Square and Hiafa Street on the 22nd of July 2004. Approximately 1200 Iraqi Security Force and 150 Iraqi Soldiers in conjunction with elements from 1-9 Cavalry, 3rd BCT, 1st Cavalry Division conducted a large scale operation aimed at the criminal and terrorist strongholds in and around Talaa Square and Hiafa Street in the Sadamia area of Baghdad, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Thank-you for the feed back - I was thinknig about croping the Soldier on the right out. I thought he (the Soldier on the right) was a distraction, but the crop didn't look right without him.
Excellent composition here, Chuck! I like the inclusion of the other soldier on the right hand side to give a sense of atmosphere to the shot. It's good to see the Iraqi soldiers represented, too, to show how they're participating. Dave.
A very tense moment, the look on his face says it all, excellent capture and DOF - I like how you can see the other soldier advancing with the corner of your eye. Very dramatic picture, Chuck! Best regards, Ina
