Private Fair stands proudly at the entrance to the Dayton VA Medical Center, as a never ending reminder, to all, of the Unconditional Love … given by the men and women who have served in the Military and in some cases made the ultimate sacrifice. Private Fair, we salute you all!

Without the explanation of Private Fair, I would not have immediately known that this statue is of a soldier. I think his weapon blended in with the architectural details above him. Also watch the lighting. I realize you cannot control the sun. However waiting for the light to be just right is a large part of getting the best exposure.
Using the image of a soldier to show unconditional love is an excellent concept. I connected with this photograph, knowing than many men and women have given their life in exchange for my freedom.

This one was really hard to judge. I think that because he is a lone soldier it is hard to know what he is to convey. I think more of isolation when I see this picture. His eyes are particulary cold. I think sacrifice more than love. However, love would be the root of sacrifice but love isn't what I think of. But I do like how the photographer went a different direction than anyone else. I like that!

The statue does speak to me about unconditional love and in that there is depth but strictly in terms of photography, this photo does not captivate me. The technical aspects of the photograph were good but I did not feel that the composition was creative nor do I feel that there was any artistic expression expect for the contrast with the light and dark.
