is this a civil war re-enactment? could do with a lot more contrast between foreground and background, and the two-tone processing i feel takes away from the image. should be processed and shot in a way to make the "body" in the foreground pop.

Well composed and focus is drawn directly to the fallen soldier in the foreground while still capturing the ongoing turmoil in the background. Very nice job. Goood Luck. 7.

Interesting shot but seems a bit flat.

I'm not sure at all, but that looks like a Confederate. In which case, the title would be "The Cost of Slavery". and nice DOF.

A civil war re-enactment? I think it would be more effective if you could see his face better.
