I love this one! Great shot. I love the way the lighting sort of sneaks in around the corners in places.

The oddity of this photo tends to make the guard seem as the only person left in the world, and that his 'duty' has become a habit.

Great shot! The only thing I don't like is the border. The tones and the composition are absolutely wonderful.

This is a beautifully cpatured image, the tonalities are to die for. I wish it were not cropped so tight to the main pillar on the bottom, and I wish the arch were completed at the top. There's also a very off sense that this is laning over tot he right. I say "odd" because checking with an alignment aid shows that most of the verticals are indeed vertical. Oddly enough, the one in the BG next to the guard is not... Whatever... Nice shot!

I wonder if it's a certain software that does it or it's down to personal preference, but I have come across a few images like this recently on DPC. Something about it that looks to me like there's a clear layer of paint over it hiding some fine details otherwise present in the image. I can never be cerain, but there's definitely something odd about it - some sort of filter at an earlier stage perhaps. Or maybe I am just not familiar with something ..

And yeah - I like the shot :)

Maybe it's just me, but this seems like it could use a degree of rotation CCW.

Excellent composition and use of diffused light. Love the subject matter and setting.
