Simply one of those perfect moments, this photo grabbed my attention straight away, its simplicity of focus, the beautiful colour pallet, the stunning lighting, and nigh controversial content.
firstly the composition: the movement of the figure is captured perfectly, the slight turn of the head revealing a young face; keeping the figure in the center and having a short-ish depth of field so that the background fades out is a very subtle effective was of drawing our attention to the focus of the shot, said figure.
the lighting and minimal colour pallet creates an incredible mood within the piece, i get a sense that it is late afternoon, in autumn, getting colder, and that the soldier might be tired or going back to where he came from.
a very poignant, effective, striking piece.

The Arabic translation doesn't make sense, It's incorrect.

Tell the world, you're coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pains of yesterday
You know your kingdom awaits
and you're forgiven for everything
Sorry that song's been stuck in my head for a long while LOL
Aside from that, beautiful shot~keep up the great work!

"The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty."
In other words, God has set America on the path to misery?
For a guy who dresses up in costumes and takes pictures of himself, you sure make a lot of self-important, unqualified statements.

I really-really- enjoy all of your pictures towards the military, I think I've just about commented on them all. Thank you for your contributing to deviant art with your amazing pieces of work. While my marine is away they're nice to look at.

My vision was to let you create your own story for this photograph. Wether this man is returning home from a long deployment, Maybe he has been died from a roadside bomb and is returning to peace, His HomE. Or maybe is sti'll walking the streets of Baghdad and remembering his neighborhood.

Amazing photo, truly amazing.
And remember guys, pro soldier does not have to equal pro war. Give our soldiers the respect they deserve, even if you're against the war.

Beautiful shot. Brought tears to my eyes. My husband is in the military, so I know that feeling of being home and not knowing for sure if he'll be back again.
I'm going to assume from the fact that it says self portrait, and what your description says, that this is you. So, as much as I wish it wasn't this way, thank you for what you've done.

Looking at this picture brings me a sense of peace. A duty fulfilled from a journey you'd never thought you'd live through. Getting back to your friends and family knowing all that hardship has ended.

God bless you. This made me tear up. I don't have family in the military, but a lot of my friends do, and a lot fo people out here do, and God, every time I see the reports of the war effort I prey at least some of them got to go home to their families in safety. God bless you so much.

Soldiers a nothing but a victims of politics. I'm amazed why so few realize it.
The picture itself shows what I'm sure every soldier prays for.
