I see two people that must have sensitive ears. Great looking shot, Thad.

I can tell by the reaction of some of the people the cannon was very loud. Makes one feel that they were actually in Colonial America. Excellent capture, Thad.

Good capture of the smoke shooting out and up from the cannon. Also interesting is the expressions/actions of the spectators at the time of fire.

A lot of "hear no evil," going on in the smoke filled shot, Thad.
Great action you captured.

Looking at this capture makes me realize how hard it must have been on those canon shooter's ears. They must have come away from it deaf. Good action capture Thad. This keeps our history alive for us.

Love the way the 2 little boys are reacting to the cannons, priceless. Another amazing action shot and love the way you've captured the smoke coming out of the end
