That is a fabulous candid portrait. I know he's looking directly at you, but is has no feel at all of being staged or posed. His dead, emotionless gaze unequivocally conveys the sensory exhaustion that attends the battle weary soldier of every era. I am of course aware that the Civil War is pretty much over now, and that this man is a participant in some re-enactment event, but the effect of the photograph is nonetheless authentic and moving.

What a wonderful shot. Did you try in sepia or B&W might have looked very vintage. |

This is a great portrait shot. Amazing to think that this is a Civil War re-enactor... the look on his face, he really looks like he was in the war. Wonderful photo! |
