this man is absolutely beautiful. I would say peaceful. not necessarily at ease. but breathing…

so many vets are hopeful again…a most beautiful gift for them after so many years…

This face looks similar to yours… lol
I mean not in old face but dont know just felt like that… lol

Great shot and mean too.. !!!
Like he was givin a message…

Great expressions!

Excelent portrait, I love how you framed him between the trees and I can feel a sense of hopefulness that exudes from him…

I DONT KNOW WHO HE IS….BUT HE IS AN AMERICAN,A REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR COUNTRY….AND I THINK THIS PHOTO SHOULD BE ON TIME MAGASINE COVER…..

That´s really a great picture. Love the pensive mood he shows.

Beautiful work! Love it, will respond with more later, thank you:)

I love this. speaks volumes…

LINAJI…...YOU ARE FORGIVEN…...BUT ITS TRUE….SEND A COPY TO YOUR PRESIDENT…OR TIME MAGASINE…IT TRULY IS ONE OF THOSE PHOTOS YOU WILL NEVER EVER FORGET. THIS IS SOMETHING TO BE VERY PROUD OF…...DIANE

Never really stopped to consider how amazingly you captured this moment.
And not only because you got the look of silent hope so eloquently, but also because it is such a beautifully executed portrait. Classic. Crisp and clear with good composition and tonal balance, nice depth of field keeping the background from interfering, and so beautifully lit with every shadow and highlight within your exposure range.
Wonderful work!

As the president of the St Louis chapter of Veterans For Peace, I am inspired by this type of photograph.
Thanks!

Beautiful capture.

What a great image,so beautiful in all respects

Just one word “Excellent”

What a beautiful and sensitive capture. Hard to imagine this was just a random stranger for you have his very essence,

A lovely portrait,
That far away look I see in his eyes is the same look I
see at time in my husband,
He ia an Australian Vietnam Vetran.
God Bless all Vetrans.

Wonderful portrait….....contemplative…....amazing..

Beautiful shot of this man Lina – unsurpassed!

Fantastic capture.
