well I think it is the intensity of the scene. it looks real and it reflects a huge concern of people, war. the picture itself looks very good like a moment of tranquility surrounded by chaos . . . you don't know what's behind the dust.
different people may get a different impression I assume.
Some may just like the action.
does it make sense?

This is fantastic and really made me tear up. I am so proud of all the soldiers weather they are home or away on missions. Soldiers are a special breed of human who fight for others and expect nothing in return. This is a fantastic shot.

Really nice photo! Only complaint would be that I think the frame is quite big and makes the picture look small. Maybe I am throwing stones in glass houses as I myself like to put big frames on things But this one I would think looks better with less framing.
But the picture itself is great!

Whoa, I love all the dust from the chopper. Gives the image slightly surreal feel but that adds to the effect real great Amazing shot
