I like your perspective on this one Brian. The red and the blue is great, now if you could have gotten those Vets to wear their white gloves... Nice job.Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

Doggone you Larry...I was perfectly happy with this till you showed me how much better it would have been with white gloves. Mostly kidding...but you ARE correct.
awesome and super in all respects....the "echo" of the first rifle and arm going back as it also goes out of focus is just compelling as can be. super super shot
in the words of a world famous philospher:

Michael and Rick,
Thanks for the comments. Glad you enjoyed the shot. I cover this event just about every year and sometimes it's hard to find a different angle on it than the year before.
Love this one. Very powerful. But I wish it had just a touch more depth-of-field and was maybe just a smidge lighter. The lightness can be adjusted. But the depth-of-field is what it is. I like the shallow depth-of-field. But I think having a bit more would give a beter sense of depth and set the line of rifles up a little better. A very, very strong image, though. It's definitely going in my Favorites gallery for consideration for the 2007 ViewFinder Awards.
