In this one, the powerlines look as if they belonged here all along... wow Matto!

It's seems to be a set of a representation. Whatis it?

How surreal!

How interesting a shot is this. I actually LIKE that you left the powerlines in there. I would imagine that you could have re-composed this shot to exclude them, or done some creative stamping in photoshop to remove them. Yet they add a reference point and surrealness to the re-enactment scene.

Great job.

I've never commented on your blog before, even though I check it every couple days or so, but I loved this shot so much I felt compelled to post. The composition is incredible, and I especially love the clouds in this shot. What can I say? I'm a sucker for cloudscapes. Great job!

WOW-terrific shot-great colors-it has an epic,grandiose and gallant feel-the powerlines add to the sense of endless depth of field-and when I first noticed them they provided a bit of comic relief, sort of like discovering one of the horsemen on a cell phone-anyway, great shot!

Damn, dude. You were down this way again? Wish I'd known. Would have loved to go to the reenactment. This is amazingly well exposed. Great cloud detail and everything. Love the slightly desaturated colors, too.

Great stuff, love the colour treatment. I swear I saw you photographing a guy outside the eaton centre yesterday, I was on a street car.

Matt, love this photograph. One of your best in the series that I just looked at. I like this one better because I think it's less contrasty than the man and woman in the field. High noon photography is tough, I know. I like the velvia-like colors in the man-woman shot, but maybe the contrast is too high?? This one really rocks, though, helped a lot by the hanging smoke in the air. The only thing that puzzles me is the purple/green tinge to the smoke across the mid screen. I've shot blackpowder and never have saw this, almost as though the shot is through a bit of glass and catching some reflections. Doesn't bother me, though, just is a puzzle and I still appreciate the shot and love the juxtaposition of the battle vs power lines.

great sky.

i looked at the sky and didn't take my eyes off for a long time. i am probabaly wrong but i thought you left it the way it came in the shot...colur corrected the rest a bit maybe.

wonderful.

powerlines? they look just fine to me.
