Kyrgyz could fly too Photo

Photographer’s Note

"Hero" and "Hidden dragon..." weren't alone... :)
------------------------------------
The monument of Manas, the national Kyrgyz batyr (hero; who lived about 1000 years ago), is surrounded by fountains and located in front of the national concert hall in Bishkek, the capital.
There is the epic poem (epos) "Manas" devoted to the hero and members of his family. It is the longest in any human tongue (two-and-half times the length of the Indian "Mahabharata"). And there were some people who could sing it.

I like the way you framed this photo with all the water and how the sword is toward the viewer, also the light and colours are well done here.

I like those perspectives. The horse looks like flying on water. Very beautiful,

I like a lot your very unorthodox (unusual) POV and way of presenting this sculpture about the national hero Manas.

They realy can sing it from the begining to the end? How many days takes it? Mahabharata is not the shortest... Not realy a question, I was just asking myself.

Great job Azat. I like the framing and the color. However, I would crop a little from the bottom to get rid of the other structure.
Overall, excellent job. Thank you for sharing.
