I don't know if I like to see armed people all around me in order to protect tourists when visiting important sites,but I'm sure that I like to see the police to get practice in this kind of shot.
The photo was taken near the pyramids of Giza.

Hi Attila,
Good composition. You have caught very well both policemen in a moment of expansion. I agree with you in whom these photographic shots are the only ones that should be done.
The photo is very good, I like the contrast between the white uniform and the color of the sand of the desert.
Good work.
Regards,
Josep

lestans (15480) 2006-03-18 10:10

Sono d'accordo con te - ovviamente!!
La foto mi piace molto, con i due poliziotti in bianco e tutti pieni di armi e cianfrusaglie, ma intenti a telefonare e a fotografare. Ben fatto a metter nello sfondo il gruppetto con i cammelli.
Buona domenica!
Livia

Good shot Attila. and the title is really perfect. Nice definition and point of view here. Good contrast between the white clothes of the soldiers and the red sand of the desert.
Good job!

rakeshgupta (2670) 2006-03-18 11:36

Hello Attila,
Good shot telling reality of humanity. I am sure if all gangsters are given digital camera to watch and capture this beautiful world, there may not remain any crime. These policemen are looking real civilians while taking snaps.
Thanks for sharing this humorous shot.

Rossignol (2289) 2006-03-18 13:55

Hi Attila
Great picture. Good composition and great natural expressions on the faces of these two guys. But for the small group in the distance they would appear to be in the middle of nowhere with nothing to guard - but your helpful note makes it clear the pyramids are close by.
If only all of the gun barrels could be replaced with camera lenses - it would be a much more peaceful earth for us to trek!
Best wishes
Peter

Buin (37988) 2006-03-18 15:52

Hallo Attila!
What a crazy world, where peaceful tourists must be protected. You posted it in "humorous" but smiling about this is difficult ...
Nevertheless,thank you for showing this - in a photo of best quality!!
Frank

papagolf21 (56483) 2006-03-18 16:48

Bonsoir Szili,
Vous avez tout à fait raison à propos de cette protection armée !
La présence de soldats lors d'une visite n'est guère rassurante !
La photo est particulièrement réussie : superbe définition et excellent cadrage.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Emile (20037) 2006-03-18 22:10

Hola Szili.
Very good picture, it looks so simple but you manage to fix it in a way that we are able to see so many details with excellent sharpness and an amazing DOF. I congratulate you because your pictures are very neat.
Well done.

Bonjour Szilli,
Excellent, ces soldats ne se sentent pas espionnés, ils occupent leur triste temps.
Superbe composition avec de jolies couleurs et beaucoup de netteté.
Amicalement
Martine

Great shot, I like the body language of those two guards.
It's good they choose a camera to shoot.
I like the frame, too.

Hi Szili,
What a great shot. The gards taking pictures, the camels at the back, perfect setting.
Great sharpness.
Well Done.

Etienne

riclopes (33055) 2006-03-23 3:19

Hi Atila,
What a funny capture, that you got in here! I imagine that this must be a very boring job for them. Making some shots (or checking out the radio...) is a nice way to relax for a bit. Nice to see those camels in the right background and the composition a bit to the left. Excellent work!
TFS,
Ricardo

pitai (3925) 2006-04-01 16:14

Hello Szili, lol. I like the note and picture a lot. A very different point of view. The exposure is superb. I am glad you included the camels on the background to add depth. Well done. TFS. Gabriel
