Firing Squad...
I took this shot this past summer… it was my first time seeing the performance and it was incredible!
The Signal Hill Tattoo is an internationally known award winning historical animation program. Each summer, audiences thrill to the echo of the cannon, mortars and musket fire combined with the stirring tunes of the Fife and Drum Band which beckons visitors to a bygone age of 19th Century British military might. Set atop famous Signal Hill, the Tattoo portrays the garrison life and duties of His Majesty’s Royal Newfoundland Regiment of Foot and the 27th Company-2nd Battalion-Royal Regiment of Artillery who endured the harsh conditions of the Newfoundland Station in the late 1790’s.

I like your work (otherwise I would not leave comment, due time constraints).
Below my reasons for it and my honest opinion.
Please don’t feel de-motivated if some honest feedback is given.
I always mean it in a positive way. And in all, it’s just my perception anyway.
Impact (does it grab attention?): Yes.
Composition (use of space, lines): It’s a bit too centered for me. Maybe without the vignetting?
Subject matter: Very good
Focal point: Eye goes to the smoke above the gunners
Style (story): Very good story
Lighting: Lot of detail is lost in the people.
Color balance: Superb
General: It’s an interesting photo.
BYRON
Yep, I agree with Henk. I like the subject and the positions of the soldiers. The smoke is great. I don’t mind the loss of detail in the soldiers, It could even be a bit more grainy. I am not a fan of vignetting since it seems to be sooo overused these days. LOVE the colour saturation.
