Good work on the smoke looks real. The faces of the men are detailed. The subject is centered and proportional crisp clean flag. The black framed military issue glasses were a good touch.

Comment from donnadiann
A grest version of that heroic moment, and yes I only recently heard of the recreation of the flag raising moment. Your Dad was a hero to have been in WW11, and in Iwo Jima. WW11--they were drafted, had to go, no stress cards thenthey were in for the, and long haul--until it was over. My dad was on the front lines in Germany at 19, and captured four days into the Battle of the Bulge), and remained a prisoner for around four months. He came home, of course--here I am, but the war never left him. I like the vivid bright greens and reds, blues in the drawing. The different pose of the men is interesting and quite alright. Really nice flag and subjects well placed in the frame:)

Colors have impact, composition is very good, and the subject is very interesting and tells a good story. I like the diagonals in this image. It makes the composition more dynamic.

Comment from Reuven Azachi
As a veteran of two wars I cannot but agree with your observations about the horror of wars and the mundane looks of its actors. Your illustration vividly portrays the commonalty of the heroes planting the flag which can be of anybody else among us. Great composing skill, excellent depth and perspective, great choice of color palate and particularly the gray background which symbolizes the dark gray shadow that a war can cast on us all.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten
I like the different angle you have chosen to draw this historic scene from. the design is really well thought out and I like all aspects of it except for the overwhelming gray in the background, what is it? If it is intended to be smoke a lighter version would have been better so a little of the blues of the sky peeked through. To me it also would have been better if all the flag was in the frame. However, I still like the angle.

you know that Marine emblem idea would be nice. like a ghosting of the emblem in the background, not a in your face one, but a subtle one. would add to the intensity, the emotional string in the viewer of the composition. you are most welcome, grasshopper!!!
cheers,
