Looks more like War than Calm but that aside, it's a very powerful image. Good catch. It would look very good in BW too. ~ Lonnit

This looks a little too intense to suggest calm to me. To my eye, I think the camera was just a touch to close to lock it's focus properly, as the green straps top right and bottom right appear to be much sharper and correct than the face. These niggles aside, the actual content of the image itself is extremely good and I find myself keep coming back to it. The nose sweat drop is a final touch of reality.

You would think the sergeant would wipe his nose before sending him into action.
Nice shot Doc:-)
