    interesting shot. The exposure on the rifle barrel is spot on! Did they say why they didn't want you photographing the actual faces? Are the armed guards typical or are they there due to the recent political unrest?

    Recent? Nepal has been politically unstable for years.

    Love the shot. Well composed, well lit. Good eye.

    Nice shot, nice 7.62mm SLR.

    Same rifle isued to me at recruits 20 years ago. Heavy as, 30 round mag and lots of stopping power. Good thing you did as they said because I would care to be looking down the barrel of one.
