Chinese Terra Cotta Army in my city.
Honor for my city!

The Terra Cotta Army - "soldier and horse funerary statues") are the Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang the First Emperor of China. The terracotta figures, dating from 150 AD, were discovered in 1974 by some local farmers near Xi'an, Shaanxi province, China near the Mausouleum of the second Ming Emperor. Qín Shǐhuáng Líng). The figures vary in height (183–195 cm, according to their role, the tallest being the generals. The figures include strong warriors, chariots, horses, officials, acrobats, strongmen, and musicians. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 2,000 soldiers, 100 chariots with 400 horses and 300 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits.

HI Krysztof!
Good shot of these famous warriors and well done with the focus at the first one.
Perfect sharpness there and a nice blurred background.
These brown tones look very nice.
Regards,Leo

Hello Krzysztof,
I like how you have framed the foreground warrior, making good use of depth of field to lift him from his compatriots in the background. Excellent detail very well rendered.
