A tribute to an obedient horse, Danos, as the rider kept the animal within the designated area.
Marvelous sight with the white horse, rider in red and cream-tone gawn, flag on mast and green hat. Nice combination of colors, well collected photo.

Hello Danos,
Good angle of shot. I like the mouvement of the horse's tail. The ggod light enhances the colors. I wonder if this guard duty is harder on the man or the horse.

Hi Danos,
here we have another noble warrior on a stunning white horse in full dress!:) I think you should have taken him from the front. I can see other people's shadows watching him at close quarters:)
Cheers

Hi Danos
Magnificent animal, beautiful and powerful, and so well behaved when in ceremony like this. Great costume on the man astride as well, and a perfect light shining on them both!
All the best

Hello Danos!
I thought so that there must be a suitable substrate for a horse!
Nicely presented guard of horse.

Hi Danos,
The distance between the guard and the trees is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing trhe details and colors ofthe guard's uniform. There is a good contrast between the colors of the uniform and the colors of the horse. Have a nice day.

I like the part of the swishing tail of the horse...nice picture of the man donning bright colours atop a regal white horse. The green contrasts with the blue of the sky well

Hi Danos
The horseman makes a strong focal point in stark contrast against the surroundings where the eye is drawn to. Colors and lighting work well in your favour
add a big lift to the overall scene. A pretty looking shot, Congrats, TFS.

Καλημέρα.
Φανταστικά κατέλαβε το τζαμί φρουρά σε ένα λευκό παλτό και ένα λευκό, όμορφο άλογο. Πραγματικά φαίνεται πολύ εξωτικό Μαρόκο. Εξαιρετική ποιότητα εικόνας και χρωμάτων.

I can imagine how these horses should be adapted to this job, not easy for an animal to stay in the same position for a big amount of time.
nice view of the horseman and the enviroment around. good light, framing and sharpness.

Hello Danos.
Beautiful portrait of this soldier of the royal guard, his original and splendid uniform, next to the beautiful horse facility creates an ideal set.
Very good both the brightness and the sharpness.
Well done.
Have a good afternoon.

Hi Danos,
interesting shot of this guard on his horse. I guess it must be quite boring to sit there and doing-nothing! Hopefully there are other guards for the same job. Very sharp and clear shot and his red uniform have a eye-catching red color, well done!
Have a nice evening.

Bonsoir, cher ami Danos,
Cela ne doit pas être facile de garder la pose aussi bien pour le cheval que pour le cavalier.
L'espace imparti est particulier réduit, et le cheval doit piaffer d'impatience.
Très belle photo.
Amitiés.

Hello Danos,
The horseman makes a strong focal point in stark contrast against the surroundings where the eye is drawn to, this almost a statue with a move of the ponytail.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant for look at.
Excellent composition, lovely presentation. TFS.

An exposure for highlights shows the best details of horse's hair and guard's costume.
I'm used to see in movies horsemen charging enemies , spear pointed ahead; so this still posture appears quite unusual for a non-initiated to historic ceremonial formalities!
Quiet job for both, anyway!
Se xereto.

Hi Danos,
interesting close up of the rider. The cloths seem extraordinary. It must be really difficult to hold the horse in one position for a long time I guess.
Very well done,

Hi Danos,
a good close-up on this horseman, with her red uniform, and the white cloak, who guards the gate which we have seen in your last photo.
The white horse is beautiful, your framing is efficient, the light is good and I like the vivid colors.
A good composition my friend.
Best regards,

Hi Danos,
A very good image of the horseman - beautiful horse it must be very diffilcult to keep the horse confined in such a narrow area - I like the colours of the uniform/dress against the white horse.
Excellent clarity & interesting POV.
Kindest regards,
Dawn.

Hi Danos,
Very nice and well-composed photo. I notice in particular that you have positioned the head of the rider right in front of the highest tree which is a perfect choice. Also a very good perspect perspective. TFS and have a nice weekend!

Καλημέρα Δάνο,
Η απορία μου είναι πως μπορεί το άλογο να κάθεται τόση ώρα όρθιο? Η χρωματιστή επίσημη στολή δημιουργεί αντιθέσεις με το υπόλοιπο σκηνικό. Και η ουρά είναι απαθανατισμένη σε κίνηση.
Καλή συνέχεια,
Μαρία

Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
μου αρέσει πολύ ο τρόπος που τοποθέτησες τον έφιππο φρουρό μέσα στο κάδρο δημιουργώντας μια ισορροπημένη σύνθεση και ένα πολύ ενδιαφέρον και πλούσιο φόντο που περιγράφει τον περιβάλλοντα χώρο και την κίνηση μέσα σ' αυτόν. Η εικόνα έχει πολύ καλή ευκρίνεια και βάθος και τα χρώματά της είναι ζωντανά και ελκυστικά. Ιδιαίτερα μου αρέσει η λαμπρότητα και καθαρότητα του λευκού. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία
