Missouri Volunteer-5071, a photo by Against The Wind Images on Flickr.

The re-eanactment of The Battle of Okeechobee is held annually at Okeechobee Battlefield Historic State Park in Okeechobee, Florida.
Commemorating the largest battle in the Second Seminole Indian War on Christmas Day in 1837 it pittted 300 Seminole warriors led by Coacoochee (Wildcat), legendary medicine man Abiaca (Sam Jones), and Black Seminole leader John Cavallo against 9,000 men under the command of Col. Zachary Taylor, the 1st, 4th and 5th Infantry and a group of Missouri volunteers led by Col. Richard Gentry. His grandson traveled from Missouri and took place in this year's re-enactment. He is pictured near the end of the collection with drawn sword during the closing ceremonies. His portrait in period costume are the last few images in the collection.
Although they lost the battle, the Seminoles inflicted heavy casualties with few loses of their own, bought time for their families to flee further into the Everglades and helped propel Col. Taylor to the Presidency of The United States.

Shot in the late evening in the Big Cypress swamp and processed with Lightroom 4 beta version. for some reason this image has garnered an unusual ammount of attention on my Facebook page. I'm posting it here to see if it gets a similar reaction.

New Image, difficult contrasty image. Handheld, 450mm lens, slow shutter speed, high ISO, white birds against a cloudy sky. A nightmare of a shoot to balance both during and post production handled nicely thanks to Lightroom 4 Beta version.
