Good closeup of the guards. A little fill flash to bring out the facial details would be nice. Excellent focus and well composed.

I agree with dleuty.
Very sharp, faces abit in shadow. I like the detail in the guns, but it doesn't make an appealing desktop for 'me' overall.
Thanks for sharing though !!

A good capture - they have very pensive looks on their faces, which could be bought out in detail a little more by using the Dodge button in one of the photo programs. This bring out highlights and detail in dark areas. However, you captured the moment and that is very good!

For me, you brought back some memories. I was stationed in Turkey for eighteen months and had the opportunity to see simular guards. I like your shot. The helmets add geometry in both diagonals and in forming an interesting triangle.
