Great capture! The guard's expression is perfect.

Legit! I love the the way the guard almost disappears by blending in with the structure. Same pose, poise and confidence as his predecessors.

Congratulations, Devin!

I am so honored by the recognition of this shot. I goes to show you that opportunities to capture the good shots can appear out of nowhere. I was trying to find shade to sit and drink some water and brush some of the dust from my camera, when I tilted my head back from a swig of water I caught sight of this Temple guard at the window. I was able to grab a single shot before he disappeared into the building. I grabbed my stuff to see if I could get a couple more shots of his but he seemed to had disappeared as if a ghost. It wasn't until I got to Thailand before I could download this image and eye what I had. I couldn't believe my luck in having him in the same pose as the relief carving. Happy Accident"
