normally I don't comment on DDs, as they already have all the attention there is, but this one captivated me. excellent shot: the DOF, the expression, the intensity of war - this will haunt me quite some time I guess....

This is an awesome image and totally deserved the DD; for me the DOF really makes it.

No wonder why. It was eyecatching from the first moment I saw it!
Congratulations!

Perfect example of "suspended tension"! I just love the use of black on the right. The main figure's face has so little light yet poses so many questions. You can feel he's got a job to do and all other things in life are secondary to what will happen next.
Truly stunning.

I really don't know what to say about this, except that's it is really intense. x3 Congrats on the DD!

I like the way the guys in the background and foreground are both looking over their shoulders; it gives the picture a real sense of danger and suspense. It's weird to think of how, if this photo were taken even a second later, it might not have had the same atmosphere!

aye it would have been completely different. he decided to become very self conscious later after i took the shot.

Beautiful, and completely lacking in the normal romanticizing of war that we often see in photography. (Or the politicizing, but I'm starting to think that's not a word...) Congrats.
