Hmm, I liked the one with the federals sitting down.

Seriously, it is a tough choice this month. I do like all of them, but I was torn between 2 and 3. I like 3 because it almost looks legit, very neat detail on their pose and garments. And i'm a real sucker for good western fed impressions, so 2 caught my attention for submission. I guess most of the time I pick the picture that i'd rather have to look at everyday I check the website.

I have to go with the old school "leather lungs" in #3. Great Fire Zouave image guys.

Image three is the best in my opinion. It is too bad that you cannot see the eagle shaved into the back of Shaun's head. But then again I am biased when it comes to the Zou Zous.

Three great submission once again. For me I think one has "the look" more than the others.

Really tough choice this time, but for the second month running I'm gonna go with the flow again, (I really hate doing that), and say it's #3 for me, it just has 'the look'.

Number three looks awesome! Definately the best one, though I am biased towards Zouaves!

# 3, because of the facial expressions.

Re: Vote For the February Cover

Number three, mainly because they are all looking at the camera. Seems to me the " thousand yard stare" is a bit overdone.
