The Union Soldier

Another candid portrait from a recent re-enactment event

Wow, did that Yankee soldier escape our Rebels all the way to the UK ;~)

Seriously, that is a fine photo. Have you tried it in B&W or sepia to add to the "period" look?
Cheers, Bill P.

Very Nice!!!
Love it as it is, but would love to see some sort of aged processing as well.

As suggested tried to age the photo - got this far and quite liked the result. Maybe a little grain could be added

Now that is what I am talking about, Mike! Well done! Cheers, Bill P.

Thanks Bill - it's ironic, that there's a bloke living just a few miles from me, he's writing a novel set in the Civil War and has asked me to design the book cover. Here's 'Work In Progess'

I like the aging idea. Soften it up a tad and throw some grain in for good measure.

I'm finding I like the rework version myself. Not too shabby.
