Holy shit the motion here is real, great job. I think the explosion is a bit out of place though (should be removed or replaced with just dust pickups)
The posing and editing is overall very nice, but the M1919 that serves as sort of a centrepiece for the pic is distracting. The tracers from it are curving upwards rather badly compared to the bore-axis, and it really could do with some muzzleflash and dust kicking up around the muzzle and tripod. It could also be said that it seems unlikely that anybody would stop to set up a MG like that in the middle of the beach with nothing in the way of cover, when he's just a few yards from the seawall.
In short, I'm putting way too much thought into the 1919-gunner. The picture is very nice, editing is good, posing is on point.
those tracers are absolutely awful.
their length and spacing makes them look like they're just beams of light floating completely still in the air rather than bullets caught on camera.
they don't even come from the same point of origin:

and the gun clearly isn't even firing - even if their travel paths matched the barrel direction, where WOULD they be coming from?
the explosion is also way too glowy and obnoxious, it draws the attention away from everything else. a large cloud of sand and dirt would've sufficed.
however the sand effects, posing and lighting are so good that i can almost overlook the shoddy pyrotechnics. almost. have a coin anyway.
The editing is film-tastic.
