These two were 'itching' to use that Gatlingun!

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 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.....
@DaveB: I only wish they'd been that close when they actually fired it!

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. :(

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!
