Thanks, Paul and Frank. I noted that there seemed to be fewer police visible in Beijing than in Tokyo, but that the ones in Tokyo were quite friendly in posture and demeanor, while the ones in Beijing were definitely not. They were stiff and formal at all times. Our Beijing guide, "Jim," did not think it would be a problem to include the police or military in an image of the square, but implied in the way he said it that it probably was not a good idea to take an image of a policeman or military guard as such. I did include them in a few images, but never really pointed directly at one, nor did I take an image while one was looking at me. In this instance, I think I was panning on the woman with the blue umbrella, and snapped the image while the policeman was in the frame. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola
