An American Civil War reenactment reminecent of the work of Matthew Brady.

Ron this is great. My wife was in awe. You should get featured soon.

fantastic... where was this battle staged?

Ron this is an absolutely fabulous photo. Your use of selective saturation here is spot-on. I can sense the action and movement along with the mood. Really very nice work!

Did you try just the boy and the flag?

Thanks, eveeryone. This was the Battle of Hurricane, West Virginia.

Usually I can't stand selective color, but your choice here is excellent! The image gives a sense of time & memories not to be forgotten with the color representing now and the b&w the past. The b&w areas also appear slightly blurred adding to the effect. I really like this one!

I was just rating in the Selective Saturation topic and this image really jumped out from the group. Unfortunately it was only offered as a choice for me one time. I was happy to see it already featured though.

This is really a strong image to begin with, but the selective saturation really adds that extra bit of punch. Thanks for posting it.
