It's a good shot Craig but the lighting seems dull. Sunset or sunrise?
It was around 10AM, but they were in the shade of a row of fir trees.
Hi

I think what happen was that the camera meter was fool by the refection of the bayonet of the soldiers.

also i think there is way too much tent where i think there should be more of the soldiers uniforms.

maybe something like this:

You've washed the colors out. I also prefer my pictures in a 3:2 ration. While I agree on the amounbt of tent, I left most of it in because I wanted more of the flag in the picture.

The meter was off because the roof of the tent had 2 large patches of sunlight on it. Original shot below.
