Guard, south of Canal Street, Manhattan

From a group of photos I took that day

Your photo has captured the serious mood of the gaurd and as well as the casualness (water bottle). Incidentally though there is some element of casualness, it shows a serious "at work" pose. Good portrait of a soldier. Keep it up.

A wonderful portrait. Excellent composition. Like others here I don't feel right giving ratings to WTC photos, but it's a great picture. Well done.
