Nice timing as said before the smoke and the backflash out of the powder hole.

Quite a shot Carlos - perfectly timed. I too really like the woman's face - I like that no one is in soldiers garb - it gives it a more "fun" atmosphere - as opposed to killing. One wonders about how good their hearing is after a couple weeks... brent

LOL that's not my wife Shirley, she is a lady that works in the Fort, the man standing next to her is also a state employee, he is also the blacksmith in the Fort...thanks for stopping by :-)

That's so cool, they let your wife light the fuse! I love the huge smile on her face despite how nervous she must have felt lighting that thing.

Great shot, perfectly timed. The puff of smoke with the fire and the woman's face ... priceless.
