Nice capture of the intensity! I would like to see a tighter crop though. Come in from the left to lose the arm of the guy next to him and really tight on the right to lose the background. Maybe blend in the shadow thrown by the flash? Just some thoughts. -Graham-

Turn on your image editing in your user profile and I'll post a version I played with.

There is intensity but there is youth. I like it. He looks so young and there is something about the image that makes him look little. Perhaps the size of the rifle which is rather large. Nice capture though.

I agree with some cropping.
