No title
Critique away... 
I quite liked this chap so I decided to put my lens in his face. It's meant to have a military feel, flag in the background, some tents...

Not so keen on this one sorry BC. Not quite sure why - maybe cos the first thing I though of when I saw it was 'a fat hitler'

Like it BC. I like the way the lighting, coming from behind, really lifts him from the background, also like the PP, he looks quite sinister. If I was really picky I would remove the stray fibre from behind his left shoulder, every time I looks at it I want to pick it off.

I wasn't sure to leave the fibre or not. In one way it adds to the sharpness but overall it is distracting i think.
Can't change the association you make with Adolf Azz, sure he was only just a bit misunderstood that's all! To me this guy is going to give you a hard time in the Army. It's a moustache typical of many Army folk. Hitlers was about a third of the size in the middle!

Love this picture.
It's the PP and comp that give it a sort of old (40's) "war photographer" feel about the whole picture and if that is what you set out to do, I think you got it spot-on.

Hooray! Yes, that was the idea...as you can imagine, lighter PP just doesn't seem to bring out the stern harshness the man represents. It needed to be hard and gritty IMHO. Thanks.

Great composition with the background, reminds me of a First World War soldier, like the PP too.
