Nice sculpting and nice composition but I am having trouble reconciling the soldier's battle fatigued 1,000 yard stare with the child's demeanour and the playful pose. They don't seem to go together - at least for me. Perhaps there is a back story I am missing?
I really like this, the M-16 is too big and needs replacing and a different paint job would change the complete look to this little vignette. Great humanly feel to it

I agree...M-16 is too long. Can't say as I agree with the criticism of the happy kid vs the 1000 yd stare. Those moments of paradox were, in my experience, common in that insane environment.
