29th January 2004

By Special Request

Jeanne asked for some more Guardsmen to tickle.
So here is one to be getting on with. Outside St. James's Palace.

It is now time for bed, I will put up the rest as soon as I have time.

Good Night.

The dangerous-looking knife almost cancels out the silly effect of the hat! Is that guy old enough for this job?

Very nicely composed Chris. I guess you weren't nervous during this one, as he probably doesn't move and is used to being photographed. :)

Yeah, you must be really barmy to go for this job in the winter, let alone the summer. If any of you American beauties come to the UK, I can supply a feather duster on a stick!

Excellent framing - truly reveals the stiffness of this ridicilous posture the have to make each and every day :-)

Terrific ... love the way you have him up against the left side of the photo ... nice and clear ... interesting.

Ooooh! I REALLY want to tickle HIM!! Look at how serious he is! Clearly in need of a good tickling....And that fuzzy hat!! Hope he wouldn't use that pointy knife to defend himself from my tickles!!! How could he!?

Thanks Chris, this is a great one!! Hope your day was fun, and I look forward to the rest of your shots!! XXOO

I think a great many people have a certain fascination for these guards. I know I'd love to go try to make them lose their composure. :oÞ

Nice capture! -- angela :)
