# it makes the iraqi's
look more aggressive, and the soldier more panicky and defensive. like he's backing up nervously.

the whole thing looks staged anyway.

# well, we westerners read from left to right
and we see movement and time passage that way too.
so the innate movement in every painting enters at the left and leaves at the right.
so you should see the soldier backing up toward the right and the iraqis advancing from the left, or in the original painting, the soldier has arrived from the left on the scene and is telling the man who's moving the wrong direction in the picture to please take up his place in the right of the picture again.

# That's what I see
except the gun the soldier is holding is kind of disconcerting.

I feel he's more likely to start shooting at random people in Fnord's version.

...but I heard it won some sort of wartime photography competition.
