It's a good photo. The message is incomplete without the caption, explaining it's a tribute to a loved one. The subject matter itself is personal and therefore of limited impact to a general audience. If the contest theme were "honoring our veterans," for example, it might hit the bulls eye.

I did some fix on the photo and ran a high pass filter to sharpen it some .. that being said .. The face of the art work is very good . .I like the idea of the draping flag but felt the flag and the stars on it looks to flat to me. I think if it was made to pop a little more would have added to the over all vision and view. The 8th Division art work could use a little touch up to make it pop also .

I also feel what LPigott says is right on target .. Some times the art works name .. makes the art work remembered because you connect with the masses not just local family ..

Having little knowledge of tattoos, my comments are limited. The tattoo is nicely framed by the gray clothing on one side and the dark background on the other side. The skin tone looks a bit too red/orange. My monitor may display differently from others.
