Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A super interesting shot. I really like the shine on the rifle and Gatling gun. The weapons are so realistic.

@Michael Skorulski: The love their weapons used in these reenactments and take wonderful care of them as you could see.
Thank you, Michael.

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Probably something rude, about wool underwear... Haha. This is a very excellent photo; in sepia and a bit of added grain, it might pass off as authentic. But I like the authentic colors here.

@Viewfinder: Thank VF ... I've seen whole albums of sepia-toned photos and I always long for just a bit of color.
Your suggestion of a little grain makes sense.

No matter what they were talking about, the image has veracity in it and this is what counts! Very good this one, Judy!

@Japanalia: I liked what VF said, that they might be talking about "itchy underwear." <grin>
@ManuelaR: Thank you, Manuela.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Great image - if you do try to make it look authentic you may have to clone out that pickup truck in the background. They may be playing their parts well, but they the soldier should probably look more scared to simulate how he would act in front of the "real" President!!
They are probably talking about the SuperBowl and whether the Giants have a chance or not......

@Chris: If it isn't the crowd of spectators, it's a pickup! <grin>
I liked VF's thought that they might be discussing their itchy underwear.
Hmmm, I think the PATRIOTS have it in the bag ! :D
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Love the picture, love all the comments.....and yes, I think Abe is wearing itchy underwear. Notice where his right hand is, just a little scratch, no on will notice. Umm, that feels better.
