15 is Takhyung Barwa I think, altho it's small and unclear.

For me it's hard to believe they put a yidam among the protectors and guardians

I looked into it and you are correct. LAMA JIGME RINPOCHE kindly informed me that #15 is a protector. The deity's name is Lhamo Nen-en-ma

Thank you very much for this info.

Hello. I have been practicing nyiondro on Longchen Nyingtik. These are the images I used.
Number 15 in your image is Guru Takyang Barwa.

Takhyung Barwa is a Yidam standing on snakes.
No. 15 is among protectors but not on snakes and doesn't have a green head of a horse in the hair....

This image is very strange to me. It is also very bad. Zambala, Sendorma and Yamantaka are idаms and protectors. I don't want to argue, I'm just expressing an opinion from my experience.

I do not understand:
Which image is bad?? And why?

Images are seen as bad if the proportions, colors and attributes/weapons & ornaments are not correct,
f.e. a yellow Rahula, Takhyung Barwa w/o snakes, garuda & w/o horses head, Vajrasatva with skin-color like a human instead of white, Gurus w/o their main attributes,etc.
