[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Starting with the invasion of Western Xia and Jin Dynasty in northern China and consolidating through numerous conquests including the Khwarezmid Empire in Persia, Mongol rule across the Eurasian landmass radically altered the demography and geopolitics of these areas. The Mongol Empire ended up ruling, or at least briefly conquering, large parts of modern day China, Mongolia, Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Moldova, and Kuwait.

Fantastic picture Benjamin, it seems taken from a time machine trip... :o)

Hi. This shot is fantastic. The detail is reat, as with the faces (although the guy in the back left looks a little bored:)) The clean lines of the upraised swords add a bit.

Cheers

hi ben,
this is gorgeous! i love such action photos (have some from a sort of festival in tunisia in my portfolio) - this one looks as if taken stright from the movie;
best, j.

Swords and face expressions...real victory sense... bravo
best wishes

Benjamin,
I'm certainly not tiring of this series at all...so epic and cinematic looking. I would bet it was a Hollywood creation (if it weren't done so well)
Gripping stuff in my eye
Cheers
Mark

Hello Benjamin,

Swords on hand, their face expression tells that they all ready had victory. If I’m not wrong one of soldier is with heavy armour. I like here also second group at background. They are giving great feeling of influx. Excellent action scene. Congratulations.

Friendly Regards

Hey Ben,

thats a wicked capture of his face. Imagine 300,000 of these guys charging on horseback. No wondere they conquered half of the world at one time. I like the cropping, the arm on the right adds that punch. but its all about that face.

hi Ben,
are these real warriors??difficult to believe in this century.but your work is superb!

Hi Ben, I was looking at these impressive series of this event, which I just discovered, very pretty shots, this is the one I picked; I like the focus work, the capture of a great expression and the compo with those swords up; congratulations! Daniel
