This weekend is the annual "History Alive" exhibition at Brisbane's Fort Lytton.

They have really outdone themselves this year with re-enactments of everything from Vikings to Roman Legions to WWII Russian and German troops. There were American Civil War soldiers and English archers as well.

And what a collection of vehicles. Take a look.

Very nice images, however, I feel the
vignette is a touch overdone and detracts
more than adds to the image.

You're probably right, but the background was crap!

The rider seems to be having fun though.
I guess you could still do something with
it , if you want the spend the time. Like
removing the background or adding
movement so it is less obvious.

Fair points too.

Removed wheelie bin, removed vignette.
Softened background, added motion blur to wheels.
