London - guard
Posted by Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 24 October 2010 in Documentary & Street and Portfolio.
Pictures of London with a difference. I purposely avoided taking shots of the well known tourist sights.
My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.

A great shot with wonderful tones and details! (isn't this something touristic? :))
It is amazing how they stand there like living statue's..!

A fine close up of this formal looking fellow. I like how you have a darker area just in front of his helmet with the wall further over. Nice shot.

This is one of my favorites of this excellent series. The framing is very interesting.
Love the portrait and the way you balanced it against all the empty black space.
This is a beauty.
