Wierd thing.. I replied to this, and it says I replied to this, but I am missing. Hm....
Anyways..I will try again . I think this is a brilliant shot. I love the capture and see what you see. Very well done.

I actually really like this shot. I like the level of anonymity about it. You can't see the soldiers face and that's somehow heightened by the non-descript sky behind (in front of?) him.

As for politics, I'm having a hard time seeing how this could be construed as any kind of political statement. It's an interesting perspective on your surroundings - I think it's time to remind people that you live in DC, shots like this are probably inescapable in America's capital!

I really like it, alot.

You know me, I have railed on people in the past here for exploiting political views, but the beauty of your posts is that you simply put the image up and let the politics go elsewhere. It is increadibly hard to avoid it where you are in the world.

I don't see a political issue here at all either. If I did I would have said something about it.

All I can say is great shot

Keep it up

im not gonna stop posting, i was just caught up in a moment of frustration. it irritates the heck out of me when people start to assume that i'm conveying a message in an image, especially when i haven't indicated such. generally, if i have something to say, i'll say it.

thanks all for your comments.

The concept about this photo, (as far as politics goes) is that any side could view it and use it.
The poster said do you want war or peace.
One could view this as a compliment, for wouldnt the photo work well for either stance?
