Soldiers Coming Home

Originally I had soldiers with their loved ones in mind for this contest, but your image shows a different side of soldiers coming home. I think in a way, one thing that no one really thinks about is not that they just left their families and everyone they know and love, but they left everything they know as well including home, hobbies, pets and much more. His bag forgotten on the ground next to him, as he immerses himself in a love of his that he has been without for who knows how long. Thank you for entering the contest, it is a wonderful image!

Congratulations on your image, as you may have noticed I chose this one for my banner image. I thought it was fitting for part of what I was asking for in the contest, and the colors in the image are just beautiful. Great image!

I absolutely love you image, the quality is a little weak but other than that it would be first, for this contest I was really looking for the content of the image even more then the quality. This image really represents as much as a picture can, I feel, the feelings present when someone soldier comes home to them. Thank you for entering your image, it is extremely touching, and if these people are any relative to you can I just say how thankful the American people are for the young man's service.
