Excellent shot.

Do you know why the final marine is following behind, out of interest?

Are you speaking of the Marine on the right? If so, he is in charge and marching them.

Oooo...I love the Marine uniform! they're tryin' to redo ours (I'm Air Force) They use M16s for the Firing Party? 0.o We use M14s for ours. We have an Active Duty funeral comming up next week. I think I'm on that detail.

Anyways...awesome image! great colors with their uniforms and the trees in the back! Great shot!
