Photographer’s Note

A historical horseman from part of Northern China's military past. This metal statue is around lifesize and is certainly impressive to see close up.
The ground is absolutely frozen solid in mid winter.

Hey Murray,

Very nice colors and details (like the dustbed). A great motive, framing is also very suitable. Great capture of the rider and of the horse, both are full of details and sharpness. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy

Hello Murray,

I like the stance of this horseman. He looks a lot like the terracotta warriors. Good to see those now familiar buildings towering in the background, the same backdrop as the ice skating shots. The assorted boulders in the background are appealing also. Thanks for the post, hope you are enjoying China despite the cold.

Hello Murray,
nice connection shot between the metal statue of the historical horseman and in the background the modern buddings.The sharpness and the light of the statue is impressive.The two trunks of the trees add a nice decoration in the scene.

Hi Murray

Good graphism of the darker sculpture & trees, against the lighter bg, with excellent sharpness. The diagonal axis of the rearing horse, adds good dynamism. Tfs!
