They gave their today

An image something like this was used in our remembrance service at school this morning and I thought I'd have a go.

It's far from perfect, I know, but I'm fairly new at photoshop and I hope the result is still a fitting tribute to our war dead.

Any suggestions and hints gratefully received!

I think it looks fantastic. Great processing. The poppy and then the shadow in the shape of a cross is very poignant.

Nice job I think.
