Your photography skills are to die for my friend. I add my meager congratulations to this most impressive display. If I may quibble a bit, the reality of charging a square is a bit different than shown. Horses, being smarter than their human riders, do not oblige by getting that close to a formed square. Generally the closest contact is more that 3 to 6 feet away which means that cavalry confronting a formed square breaks off well before near contact. That said, your photos convey a sense of battle that is most vibrant and engaging. Salute for your skill and effort.
