Night Training

Just as I was about to go to sleep one night, I looked out my window to see this. In a gritty courtyard that was at least 200 feet by 50 feet, standing perfectly still among the dirt and the puddles, the line of soldiers was illuminated by a single light. I tried capturing that feeling.

This one was a tough one to post-process. I think I managed to make the texture of the ground, lets the isolation of the soldiers come through. I also was a little off in my metering, and blew the lights in the top-left. I've tried to reproduce a little bit of the texture, and while I don't think it's good enough, the light no longer destracts from the rest of the image.
