Mission d'honneur, a photo from Kobenhavn, East

Photographer's Note

He is a guard of Amalienborg, the winter home of the Danish royal family. Margrethe II is the Queen regnant of Denmark.

I have never seen the royal guards before. And this show was very attractive for us. And I remember I wondered by combination of the old traditional uniform and an American rifle M16. Amazing mix of so different military cultures, epochs and styles.

Hello Serghei,
I got a grandchild a few days ago, she is named like the danish queen Margrethe. I wish she could have her private security guard in such an amazing outfit!

Warm regrads

Hi Serghei,

I just had to comment on this one, after yours on my picture of the Royal Palace guard in London...it wasn't until I actually slowed down long enough to read the description and look at uniform detail to realize that this was a Danish guard!? Very similar, yes? :) I like the close-up detail this presents, it feels more intimate and even a bit cautious. Strong colors and perfect choice of a vertical composition. This was a great reminder for me to really take in a photograph and not rush through the instant visual gratification. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Jason
