Means 'the descendants of the dragon' m y daughters were born in China and they are know as the above as the dragon is a very important symbol. I too was born in the year of the dragon. I purchased my jacket in this photo in China and it has a black dragon on it. Its a very subtel image but combined with the black fabric means it is a very strong image.

Very well captured. The portayal is exceptional in that the feautures are all flexed to impart a hidden strength. Very nice lighting. Bump.
