This mini contest is over... good luck all

I realize that this contest is closed, but I wanted to share this picture with the group as I've been a long time reader of this site and have yet to post a picture. The picture I'm submitting comes from the departure ceremony of 3,400 Indiana National Guardsmen to Iraq. This ceremony was by far the most emotional event I've ever attended and I've never seen so much sacrifice in one place. Pictured below is my brother in-law saying good bye to his wife as he leaves for the next year. You can see the emotion in his eyes of how badly he is going to miss her.

this is beautiful. It would look amazing if you cropped this with his eyes more off to the right, give him more EMPTY space to look into, use the rule of thirds to put more emphasis on his eyes and hand- holding on to her... anyway it is really great.

This were my old toys,stached away in the attic,but today when i found them,their colour is faded but it generated the same feeling that i once had,true in life you get old but your feelings remain evergreen

I liked the expression on this girl's face, makes you think she's got something to do on her mind.
