Seeing a package from the Office of the Chief of Staff threw me for a loop when I got home from Afghanistan.
I didn't remember doing anything too bad out there...or at least being caught. I open it up to find the 2012
PS with a congratulatory letter from LG Troy. I still can't wrap my head around it. It's just...wow.

The composition focusses equally well on both subjects - however you could have used a little less negative space between the two in the middle.

I see it now that you mentioned it, haha.  I'll keep that in mind next time I shoot, probably change the angle to close the space.

one could make the argument that the negative space between the two women represents the cultural divide that exists between them.

great photo
