Shot at a Patriot's Day reenactment at Concord, MA. 135mm on zoom. There were about 20-30 men milling around waiting for the reenactment to start and I got lots of candids of them just talking. Hope the DNMC police are kind to me and do not think they are actors doing a play or something. Here was the original title "How was I supposed to know she was the Baron's daughter"

I like the way the subjects stand out against the blurry background.

My daughter likes the way it looks like an old time photo but its in color

nicely composed candid image of the re-enactors - with a very pleasing background - good find

Crisp and sharp, a candid moment between two friends demonstrates the very nature of candid. A completel technical success, the natural stance and appearance of the subjects is an artistic plus. While the image appears to be slightly over sharpened, it isn't. It might have helped to reframe the image slightly to one side of the other, but it works just fine as it is. Well done.

Ha nice one! Would have been nice to see this one with a shallower DOF to throw the background out a bit more.
