Lost in Thought
I spotten this U.S. Cavalry reenactor apparently lost in thought. I decided to see if I could take him back to a battle long ago, a crushing defeat, a bloody battlefield, a time of mourning.
Laid in a different layer of background, high contrast black and white, then added watercolor to bring out the grit. 124 views

Thanks Pat. Six months ago, I said who needs black and white when there’s color? My photog friends have been educating me. Thanks for the encouragement.
