Wow he's pretty colorful! Nice composition but it seems a bit blurry.

It's a shame the noise is so prominent in the darker areas - I really like the composition and the haziness.

Nice variety of action in this reenactment image. Near the center of the image we have a distracting patch of bright color with magenta/green/orange speckles, consistent with chroma noise also seen in the blue coats and grass. I wonder if this is associated with a high ISO setting that might have been lower with a wider apeture and different shutter speed. Consider a salvage attempt with one of the many available noise reduction software approaches.

Comment by Teafran:
The gain effect is very dreamlike and an unusual application - much like early Civil war images only in color. The attempt to recreate the times using ISO and grain is a very good idea and in this case, it appears to have been a success. While some may view this as a huge mistake, it does work and combined with the action imparts a feeling of history viewed through a time machine. Probably not a high score image, in this reviewer's opinion, it is a unigue and very different way of processing for effect and in that sense, it works in fine fashion. Well done.

There is extreme amounts of noise in this photograph. Was this taken with a cell phone? ISO3200? This distracts severely from a photograph which isn't all that carefully set up to start with.

Interesting. Would have been great if you had made the symbols pop out of the image a little more

I think you should have cropped this differently to be more effective. Try this:
- a vertical crop , include a little more of the lower portion
- offset the two powerful beams to the side

This is nice, good exposure. Wish the memorial wasn't so centered, I think it would look good off to one side.
