Security Guard

Overlooking the market at Chincheros, Peru, accompanied by a llama.

Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Lucy

Very eyecatching and colorful. I'm glad you included the small touch of yellow in the lower right corner. And I always enjoy your frames; tasteful and attractive.

You stopped by my portfolio, so thought I would drop by here. I haven't had the pleasure of making your aquaintance. Sounds like a young lady with good direction in her life. This is a great shot. Well framed, with the "guard" making a part of the frame on the left. You have a very good eye for composition and color, and you should be a famous photographer before long. Nice to meet you. Warmest Regards.

Good shot. I know where you were... original.

I'm really glad you climbed on board FIVE and came to visit one of my images, I've been discovering lots of new "artists" and can now ad you to my list. I like the perspective you've chosen here with the "security guard" in the foreground keeping an eye on the goings on. Is that a Peruvian barter fair? This kind of imagery takes me on a journey to places I'd otherwise never see and that has a lot of appeal for me. Well seen and exposed Lucy. Be safe and have a great adventure.

While not bartering as such, it is certainly a bargaining market! Thank you for all your kind comments, I'm am having an amazing time here in Peru, I can't believe 5 1/2 months have gone so fast, only a month left...

Lucy, thanks for your visit and comments. It was nice and it anabled me to see that image.I like the way you have cropped the colorfull market scene. I like images that show the everyday life in countries different from our Western cultur life.I just came back from West Africa. Nice to meet you, Lucy. Pnina

Hello Lucy,

As soon as I saw this image, it brought a big smile to my face, thank you!

 

I agree with everything said so far, it's a great image and I'm happy to have made your aquintance!

Kind regards.

This is very well seen with lovely colors. That is a security guard that I would not mess with :-) Welcome to Five and I see that it is working. Truth is I have never run across your work before here on Pnet. I'm glad you left a few comments on some of my postings because now I discovered your portfolio. I enjoyed looking at your work and I'll be back.

Best regards

Truly original. Composition is ok, not great tho, - imo - because a rectangular horizontal format and a wider angle lens would imo have yielded better results. Lastly, there seem to be a mild magenta color cast on this jpeg. Still, I like this picture, because I think the concept is great. Regards.

This is a crop of a larger photo, but I prefered this square crop, lesser of the evils I suppose. The magenta cast is probably from the fact that my camera was set on 'Cloudy', though I did try to correct the colour according to the white tarpalin. I guess not enough though.

Thanks for all your critiques, thoughts and comments. Lucy

Very original & fresh composition with the "guard" overlooking at the colourful crowd.

I think this is an adorable image! And I love the way you frame all your images.

Lucy, this a beautiful image. I like the composition,color contrast and DOF.

great humourous shot, nice colours, although it does have a slight magenta cast, as marc said.

That guard in the foreground makes the photo, changes a market scene into something special. The highpositionof the guard gives us a view in depth. Very colorful and joyful ( though the guard seems serious).

Paula, guards have a very important job to do. No played around with that! Thanks for your positive comment too.

Hi Lucy!

You have a "great sense of composition", please forgive me my bad english...

Very well balanced!
