Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I can't decide whether he looks friendly or slightly suspicious. Or both.

@Michael Rawluk: maybe he looks nervous? :D
@P.J.: haha,yeah,from this photo you may say that but in fact he was happy being photographed :D
Celialee from Kyoto, Japan
Hmm...I never thought of asking security guards if I can take their pictures.

@Celialee: well,most of the security guards i met are good friendly people.I normally don't ask them whether i can take their pictures or not,i just grab my camera and shoot,and if they are not happy with that then just smile and walk away,or simply keep your camera down and chat with them,just be nice,no big deal,cuz the main purpose is get to know them,their great past experiences,and photographing follows it,haha....Cheers :D
@Art Monkey: Thanks the Art Monkey !

Jeremy from Kitchener, Canada
That look and the fact that he is 'security' is what makes the photo!

@Jeremy: well,my main point that makes the photo is a state of security arising in every community,guarding self-interest within own group of people,anyway,you could certainly interpret this image in different way,no limitation on the creativity of interpretation :D yeah !
@Anup: Thanks!
@Balpa: Thanks Balpa :D

I agree with Michael, I can't tell if this guy is happy or not. Nice capture of his elusive emotions.
