Not sure, which was that?

It was the one of the female soldier with camo paint on her face.

There are one of two good images, but I think some are only really interesting because they're pictures of soldiers and they show a side of life most of us don't get to see.

^^^ Isn't that true of most great photography though - it's great because it shows us things we wouldn't be able to normally see?

It should be both.

For example, the guys in the water. I feel like I've seen that type of shot a lot (and better composed and exposed) whereas I've seen lots of horses on parade, but the viewpoint of the horses arses was unusual.

I think that's where it changes from just recording facts, to being a photograph...
