Thinks it's a great photo, only criticism I have is visual of the shirt. If you wanted to show off your military service I would make sure the shirt is a little more straight to show it off. When I was looking at it the first time I couldn't tell. And looking a second time after knowing what to look for I can still barely see it. But other than that I think the placement of the crates and camera next to you is amazingly done. If I hadn't known the purpose of the shirt I wouldn't have any criticism! Have to do this myself soon.
Thank you for the compliment and input. The main part of the shirt that other veterans would recognize is the part on my left shoulder. The "Grunt Style" brand has become a well known brand for combat veterans to identify each other.
