He was intently looking over the crowd of spectators as if he were looking for the enemy line . . . or maybe he was looking for his wife! :D
This is the end of these . . . for now!

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
He does look intent. Perhaps he is scanning the hills for signs of Indians or buffalo, but probably his wife.

@Marion: Hmmm ... didn't see any buffalo but I did spot some Indians! :D
Dylan from Delhi, United States
Those glasses don't seem to be doing the job...he seems to be squinting :]
Nice capture of an interesting expression.

@Dylan: Thanks, Dylan!
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Excellent detail and color, Judy. He looks like a rather intellectual soldier.

@Michael Skorulski: His glasses may be a bit large for the era, but other than that, he's 'spot on'...
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

Babul Bhatt from Bombay, India
The crop is a bit tight. Wud have helped if you cud have framed the animal along in this shot...

@Babul Bhatt: Sorry, but he was too close to get all of him into this shot.
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Well...all is well, but...what did the horse do to you?????
2 Feb 2008 2:45pm
@Japanalia: He did nothing to me but I wished I'd had an apple! *smile*
He wasn't that close, Gabriela; I brought him in with the zoom.
Larry from Fort Wayne, United States
Great shot. How majestic he looks atop his horse. This transports one back to civil war days. Thanks.

Chris from South Jersey, United States
These actors are great and their uniforms so colorful. The background is a little washed out for my taste but I imagine you had to work with what you had - nicely done.

@Chris: I agree with you, Chris; the solidly overcast sky is washed out.
I tried burning it a little, but it looked like that's what I did, so I left it alone.
Barbara from Florida, United States
Very nice series Judy. The features of this fellow is fitting with the era. As was Abe. The series has given us a view of images we rarely see. Nice presentation.

@Barbara: Thank you, as always. There's a part of me that go back to that era, but then... LOL
@10cré: Merci...
