It was fun to watch them as they waited for the 'battle' to get near enough for them to get their orders to wheel 'er out and wind 'er up! . . . I loved their stances, but it doesn't look like any real battle!
I'm learning from your work and your constructive comments; please leave suggestions. Blessings, Judy.
Other work is on Webshots; the link takes you to a collection of ladybugs from around the world.
I love the uniforms and the picture is great, but this truly looks like a re-enactment "about to happen". Their postures and expressions lack the excitement and urgency that a real war would have had. I think this one would look great in sepia and add to the reality. Wow, that is a lot for me to say isn't it Judy? Love your work....xoxoxo

@Marion: You're right - this LOOKS like a 'staged situation'. As I said in another comment, I only wish they had been this close to me when they fired it; it would have made a wonderful video. Oh well.....
Lovely action shot, could be from a film

@DaveB: I only wish they'd been that close when they actually fired it!
Wonderful, 'do we shot now?" "hum, I don't know" "I hope so, I hate that guy" YEAH I got all that...LOL it's superb!!!

@Japanalia: I am sure they were NOT........!
Great colors and composition - it is a shame there wasn't a bit more "acting" being done by those two!!!

@Chris: I fully agree, and when they went into action they were too far away to get much. :(
Professional!

I thank everyone who has commented here, and 'Porcsin" I want to thank you also. I've just been working on converting some to sepia tones. You might want to see them so here is a link. Thank you for your interest.

@Nick: Thanks, Nick - too clean to be 'real' but the reenactment was wonderful!
PREVIEW ONLY
