It's definitely a great image but I'm a little surprised that Army Photographers, acting as photojournalists, can alter their images in post like they have recently.

Superb capture! The atmosphere is fantastic!! Love the colors and the point of view!

The image wasn't altered. I shot it with a crazy high ISO and fairly slow shutter-speed, with available light only. Didn't even have a tripod, just had to be veeeeery still. I've got the RAW file to back it up...
