Manong Guard. Manong = Mister in tagalog. or something to that effect that signifies respect.

Shot from a neighbor establishment. The light was natural. =) But this was taken from a distance. To have the spy effect. Kinda noisy due to sharpening. But I hope I got the mood. The Guard in Reflection.

Hi Emmanuel.
Excellent portrait with great color and natural expression. It could be even better, if the camera was turned to the left a little bit and left more room in front of the man.

i like the expression of manong. due to noise, i think it's best to convert to bw?

anyhow, it works well for me. good job!

Nice composition- I like the guard's expression and posture- good job!

Very very good. Excellent subject in a weird light but it suits well. I like the grain. I like it a lot. I like all of it a lot! You are stepping up the ladder several rungs at a time ;)

Strong portrait in colour and composition. I like the lighting and the grain. He is certainly looking very serious when you took your shot. I wonder if he knew you were taking it. It turned out very well as it was a distant shot you said. Well done.

Thanks for visiting my photo.

Nice photo. Seems the guard are so tired on his work. Very dramatic capture and editing you've done.

Nice composition and lighting. Not sure about the grainy effect due to oversharpening, but well you have a great subject with a matching frame. TFS!
