Higher contrasts between light and darkness.  Image appears to be lit by a dim
overall light instead of the flares, site and gunship fire.  Notice how the
back
of the sandbags is lite... that fellow would have been a dead man with that
much
light behind his position.

The samdbags could use a surface normal to make them rougher...

From dormammu@erols.com:
Very nicely done.

The green glow on his ear was a nice touch

From ethelm@bigfoot.com:
Flares, landscape and copter are good.
The wall looks very bulletproof.

From gmccarter@hotmail.com:
Nice subtle lighting, colors, and composition.  Unusual sky texture is very
effective here.
They had Cobras in '67?  The sandbags seem too regular and identical to each
other.
Otherwise a realistic, intense scene. Quite well done.

From uwe.post@gmx.de:
good idea.

From djconnel@flash.net:
Ouch.... the flares make for an errie scene.  The coke
can is a nice touch of irony.  The major room 
for improvement I see is with the texturing.  Also, the lighting
seems a bit flat.  But I really like the general subject...
it is quite a strong image.

From cfusner@enter.net:
Very deep choice of subject for the image. Reaches beyond the ordinary 
in interpretation of theme.

A vacation?  Hmmm.  But you managed to come back and do this picture :-) .

From r@dial-up30.webbernet.net:
The overall concept is good.  The jungle works well.  As is common with Poser
figures, the soldier is much too stiff.  The sandbags(?) are too regular.  The
design idea behind the flares is good, but I find the result somewhat
disappointing.  This comment by clem@dhol.com.
