The National Revolutionary Martyrs’ Shrine guards stand beside towering red columns in this compressed view. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel a fair bit to Asia. This photo was taken back in the film days with Fuji Velvia slides. Looking for compositions at this lovely shrine, I noticed an angle that included the guards and with a longer lens compressed the scene. One of my early favorite photographs.
