Kind of washed out, although it's great how you captured them in mid-stride, and the shadows are very interesting.

Nice clear shot, but it leaves me wondering what is cropped off at the top. My eyes follow the carpet and want to keep going up. I realize you are probably emphazing the guards, but it just seems something is missing. On the guards, I love the precision and the shadows!

Great shot! Love the long shadows. And the carpet takes my eye up the stairs to the sentinels in the background. Nice clear focus throughout.

Great subject and idea, but the missing foot from the front soldier hurts this one. It leads the viewer's eye right out of the frame.
