Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC
Eric,
I vote for image number 3. All the images are great, but #3 really looks like an image taken in the 1860s. The age of the soldiers, their dress, the weapons they are carrying, and even the slightly blurry image look dead on.

Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC
Any other month it would have been #1, a really good image, #3 just blows me away. Definately makes you think Chitwood Brothers. I love that knife in the middle. I hope thats not what the Georgia militia looks like in November.
Great images this month, all three were great, but vote has to go to #3.Jake Koch

Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC
I voted for #3. Great impressions, and I like the "mess portrait" sort of thing instead of the big gathering of guys in full uniform.
Good to see some live rebels instead of the "dead" ones currently on the front page.

Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC

Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC
Thank you for the compliments! I am seated right in the picture, and I sure enjoyed growing my hair and beard out for six months to get a period look. I attached the original image we based the picture off of.

Re: Vote For the May Cover of the AC
When I saw Image #1 I said "WOW! I'm voting for this one!"
Then I saw Image #2 and I said "WOW WEE! I'm defiantly voting for this
one!"
When I opened the third one I thought "Holy c*&p this looks like the real thing!"
Three really great images but only one vote.:(Robert Clanton
