Elliott Simmonds
by Martin Schiff

Elliot is with the last group of soldiers to be sent to Iraq, and will remain there until the last troops return. I found out today that his mother wanted some pictures of Elliot and his sister (in her prom dress, which was today), so I offered to do it for them. It's the least I could do for someone that is giving us so much.

Canon EOS 40D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/200s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso100 full exif

Very well done, Martin, I feel your photo lets the viewer have a look into this brave man's character. All free men on this good earth owe a great deal to corageous souls like his; could you please pass my heartfelt gratitude to Elliot and his family?
