Interpretation is every thing, and is personal. Leslie, your photo, 
After the Gunfight, I found it to be a very profound image, in my 
reading of your work you caught that moment in time right after the gun 
fight when the soldiers are trying to get their thoughts together. From 
this outsider view I like the question that arise in my mind and that 
is are these the good guys or bad guys does it matter. I like the sense 
of futility that I read in the image. I also like the composition.

Thanks for the critique. I guess the image doesn't work. I have a

with the bodies, but I didn't think it was appropriate for this group

everyone was forewarned.

<< Leslie Spurlock -- After the Gunfight (Haiti: Feb/Mar 04) -- I can't
 really see anything.  No facial expressions, it's hard even to see
 hand and finger positions (holding things, or gesturing).  The empty
 lower third is an interesting choice that I'm not sure is a mistake;
 it lends a distinctly different look to the photo at least.
