Description
This was during an exchange of supplies and troops off a helicopter in Afghanistan. The soldiers in the background are waiting to take the place of the supplies being offloaded. Something that always strikes me about photos like this is that the soldier standing with the rifles in the middle will probably never know this photo was taken of him.Related content

Wow. Excellent capture. for a start!
The washed colours look perfect, as does the sky, how did yo do that?
It's almost like the soldier is looking behind him thinking "Ah hell to this" and walking off.. Most gripping! Good job!

Your right about the soldier... he is more concerned about the task at hand... it catches him in the moment and keeps him there... I like the way this was taken... do you have a family member who took this for you..? later...

very nice capture, like how he is seperated from the others in the background..never to know his picture was just taken... the white washed ricks really help the definition here.
