Info Revolutionary War re-enactment at the Pioneer Village, Ozakee County, Wisconsin. I rather like the composition on this one, I'd like to see what people think.

Comment It would have been FP for sure IMO... if it had been more centered on the opposing force, with the 2 people siting on the top left corner removed and the tilt reduced. I'm not sure about how far rotation and cropping can save the otherwise very nice scene. --S23678 (talk) 06:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the concept of foreground focus. However, I would crop out or clone out the two people people in the back left. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 13:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with that assessment. --Notyourbroom (talk) 17:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral - It's a nice image, but I'm unclear on what it's trying to illustrate, exactly. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 06:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Odd photo, I agree with Juliancolton. —kallerna™ 11:33, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Composition is nice in theory, but it lets down this subject significantly. The one place where I would like to see the focus (i.e. on the re-enactors) is just where it isn't, and instead we're looking at the back of someone's head, who is also, by the way, partially in shadow.

Neutral Its true that the subject is a bit ununderstandable...looks like these are some preparations for the battle or some open-theater show. Also its just the back of the man that is clear, everything else in the picture is cloudy and blurry. --Zakharii 18:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Regarding some of the comments:
1. It's illustrating a red coat surveying the battlefield.
2. I don't see the tilt, note that the fighters are in the field below, the red-coat is on a hill.
3. I don't wish to clone out the women, they would also enter the field and tend to the wounded so they're part of the composition (though not as clear as they're in the background)
4. The composition is on purpose this way as it is focussing on the red-coat. I can't have the focus on the other fighters.
5. The man is not in shadow, he's in the field, though he does cast a shadow (on part of himself).
