This really is a phenomenal photo - the technical aspects were covered by Mary and Christian the emotional by Fabio.
It really is first-rate - and the image manages to encompass macro and micro -
Wow!!

The light falls on it much in the same way the sun would on a real soldier and the shadows amplify the 3D effect, bringing to his face a dramatic effect. I like his grin. The blanket of sand evokes the passage of time, along with the toning. I agree the tight crop, as Mary Sue has noted, conveys a sense of stiffness, with his left foot already out of the frame, that is already in the tomb.

John, one of the elements that works well for this image is the tight crop, which supports a message of being limited, boxed in, without options. It also is a surprising reminder of childhood, I had nearly forgotten about the army men toys.
This image seems removed from your usual, but it is intriguing.

better than a dozen of overtly anti-war posters
:)
this is really a great still
expressive in its own
and transmitting more than one message
(amongst so many: soldiers may die, wars will continue
:
it's like finding weapons on archaeological sites
:)
congrats!

Hi John, This is a very unique and interesting shot. Normally not my type of thing but this works very well. A good image tells a story and this does that very well.
