  • The levels adjustment really helped it, but there's still too much glare IMO. Much of the image is unsharp (not just the fast-moving bits), and it's tightly cropped above and below. Something about the pose of the closest soldier detracts from it too. Good caption, reasonable EV, but I think there are too many quality problems for this to do well at FPC. --Avenue (talk) 10:44, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would there be a more suitable place, such as VI or QI to nominate it? Palm_Dogg (talk) 00:54, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Original - Marines from Headquarters & Service Company, 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines, conducting a dawn patrol in Nawa District, Afghanistan.

High quality/resolution, Free license, Accurate and good captioning, with no digital manipulation. Has also been used by both the Marine Corps and The Economist, which is the main reason I'm including it here as an alternative. If the community thinks this has potential, I can fix the lack of articles ASAP.
