About
Another from last weekend's Revolutionary War reenactment at Newtown Battlefield. This reenactor is dressed as one of the detested Hessian mercenaries. They earned the hatred of the Americans at the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776 when they were reported to have bayonetted prisoners and wounded soldiers after overrunning the American positions defended by General Sullivan.
Attached below is a B&W version for those who may prefer that.
Great shot and great info. I like the color one better with the uniform standing out and in focus, the smoke capture is great and the enemy out of focus in the background as well. Might have tried a Sepia tone as well as the BW, give it that older look... Very nice
