I love #2 though. The guy in the vest looks like he just stepped out of the 1800's

Jacob:

That is Andrew Endsley, he was a Mudsill I believe before heading "west". He is a first rate drummer and always had a great impression but has "retired" from the hobby for now.

That freshly mowed lawn in Image #1 doesn't do it for me, even though I'd also like to see an equine cover. I think I can almost see the parallel paths from the mower...

I have to agree on this comment. I love the subject matter and think it would be great to have the cavalry represented in January (especially with such a fine impression) but the perceived lines from the mower kind of takes away from the overall appeal of this great shot.

#1 is great - except for the new mown lawn in the photo that pulls it into the modern. #3 is great, except for the composition - as most folks point out it is extremely unusual - so unusual that it has little to connect it with the Civil War IMHO. #2 is outstanding - the age, weight, look, composition all scream real deal...and look like any number of other images straight from the Photographic History of the Civil War.

I think that this is what #1 was going for. In my opinion, I think he did a good job with what he had to work with and the equipment and pose is right on.

Chris, you are correct, that is the image this was based off of. I had posted this image in initial selection post.
