And then she said....

I watched a civil war reenactment. These people are very dedicated to showing the history. The only thing I think might have helped their demonstration is a good looking lion or bird. :-)
I'm watching Melissa and Robin for hints on these type of shots. I have some learning to do.

Beautiful

[Barbara Warner]

I think it is a good shot. You caught them in action and they look very serious about their conversation.

[Denise]

Well captured scene.

[trude]

First....love your title, very funny. Second i think you did a great job with the photo and find your remark about needing some sort of animal very amusing also:)

[Erin Claire Goodman]

An authentic umbrella would be nice also!!! Great action shot!

[robinwarner]

oh i just love this. how fun...

[cynce frantz]

cool capture... like the way i feel like i've been interjected into their story.

[Kerri]

That's really cool. Well captured

[Trina P Holub]

I thought the same as @eringoodman since my hubby does some re-enacting and spends a lot of time online scouring for authentic or authentic-looking items.. Still a great shot. Love the interaction.

[Jonna]

I love their period costumes and the sense of drama you've captured!!! This is a wonderful shot... Very cool!!!

[Courtney]

Fabulous! I like how they are deep in conversation. The costumes are great

[Cheryl Tharp]

You captured their conversation very well. I think they need to work on their costumes a bit, though. I don't think ladies parasols looked like that modern blue umbrella. LOL! Maybe the gal on the right should have been holding a dead rabbit ...."I sent my husband out for dinner and all he brought be back was one lousy rabbit!"

[Anne ❀]

great capture and narrative! ;-)

[Kalexa]

You've captured the moment! Especially liked your title and commentary.

[Margaret Tryon]

@mabear Cheryl....I love it. LOL

[Kerry Bergman]

Fantastic scene to watch. They do look like they're right into their parts.

[Melissa]

This is great! I love the moment you captured here. Great people shot - and ha!.. love your reference to a lion or a bird :)

[Theresa]

I love the caption! Totally fits the photo and that's great too!

[Rick Schies]

I've never been to one, but I hear they are spectacular.

[Linda Paul]

Cool. I've seen wonderful interpretive acting at Colonial Williamsburg. I love that area.

[jerry plume]

This is great! love it!

[Brian Buccigrossi]

Cool capture!

[Angie Vega ☮♥ シ]

great shot at the right timing

[Yoella Offir]

VLove this so natural and interesting picture. Funny too.

[Pyrrhula]

great pic. History is to learn and teaching.
I did had a frind who loves to play? civilwar batlles . He did.

[marg]

Fabulous Photo. Living history- we can learn so much.

[stephanie dp]

great capture, great caption!

[Kd Wallis]

you captured them well!! i like :D

[Kathryn Marshall]

Great capture. I like how your captured the two women talking to each other.

[Marinade Spatula]

Great cultural and historical shot

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Fabulous shot ,i think with hands on hip ,she may not be happy about something

[Janna Dawn Goldrup]

I actually like that the umbrella is modern. Adds a game element to the photo...."find the historical inaccuracy...."

[Carol Olejnik]

Nice Magz.. you provided a great capture for those listings under it.. asking what do you think they are saying to each other.. you caught their body language and their expressions beautifully!!!

[Martie H]

HA! The caption makes this shot even better than it already is. I like it!

[Tabbycat]

Ha! They're also clearly lacking a more ancient-looking parasol and a boquet of foo foo plants too! Nice candid. LOVE the carpetbag!

[Geertje K.]

Great shot! I love the old style clothes in contrast with the modern umbrella, great capture!

[alia_801]

Nice candid! I'm not sure the umbrella is from the right period though...

[K J Buehl]

Excellent Capture Maggie, I can here just what they are saying. Nice caption too!

[Missy B]

@eringoodman - I had the same thought! :) I love re-enactments (I grew up in Virginia) and I think this was a good capture - love the title, too.

[Cheryl]

Great period piece- I love her purse!

[june milner]

great fun to watch. I don't think they could have an 'authentic' umbrella as the first umbrella shop wasn't opened ubtil the mid 1800s, so can't blame them for not wanting to get soaked.

[Devrin Wimberley]

Great capture, Margaret! The one with the hand on her hip seems to be counting off a list on her right hand.

[Beverly Moolman]

My goodness, where are these old fashioned peaople from!

[Margaret Tryon]

@betterflea Beverly, they were at a living museum, civil war reenacters.

[bruni]

Museums at times have these reenactmens always interesting to see. love the old custums they are wearing. great picture. the one on the left is listening with an astounding epression on here face and he talker comes good across with her hand gesture. I almost feel I know what they are saying.

[Juliette Packham]

great capture - well framed

[Vanessa Marie]

very cool shot!

[Deb]

I like how you reached outside of your 'comfort zone' and took this shot...and you totally captured the moment ! Well-done !

[Margaret Tryon]

@momoflilly This is way outside my comfort zone. I have been looking at so many great shots from everyone on here that seems to take people shots with ease. I don't have that skill, but I'm working on it.

[Trevor Baird]

lol love it!

[wendy chapman]

I have attended this events with my sons when they were younger. Of course, we didn't spend much time looking at the ladies. It seems there was always someone with a huge whip, or a canon going off, or knives to look at. You get the idea. I love this series for the history and those outfits. Well done.

[Tammy Guth]

Great capture and awesome title!!

[FaerieMoon]

I like the contrast of the modern umbrella in this shot (:

[mimo]

very nice shot! Moody and well taken

[Lynn M. Watson]

Wonderful candid capture!

[Paula Fontanini]

Wonderful capture....I would love to attend one of these events. They look like they would be so much fun and FULL of photo ops! :)

[Dragonfly Explorer ( Rhoiz )]

Great shot. nice too create some stories with this Photo.

[Julie Ryan]

I like it! they could be characters out of the books I read.

[Alecio]

I bet they were exchanging recipes

[Rebekah Esme.]

hahaaa! ace!
