Photographer's Note
The Queen's Guard and Queen's Life Guard are the names given to contingents of soldiers charged with guarding the official royal residences in London.

Hi Korkut

Terrific post, dear Korkut. The bl/w brings out the effect of the picture a lot more than it would have done in colour. Superb tight crop & well balanced contrasts and lightness. Both thumbs up from me!
