Marching to the beat of drums and gongs, a contingent of new guards, dressed in brilliantly colored costumes, passes through the gates of the palace. They wear brilliant yellow costumes, and led by a man wearing red, blue and yellow. They march behind yellow and red flags. Everything in this image except for the palace gates and the softly focused trees in the distance is a primary color. The bright but flat lighting of a thinly overcast day is ideal for bringing such colors by eliminating variations in light and shadow.
