I especially love your comment on how you constructed the picture. Shows dedication.
Seriously, though, was this exhibit in Houston? I saw it maybe 15-20 years ago in Columbus, OH.
I have no problem with the center moving off into infinity on the left of hte picture. These are from Communist China afterall. They can't lean left, who can?
The challenge was to express the seemingly infinite and I think you've done this very well. The voters agreed and gave you a high score. The subject was a great choice, showing infinity through repetition. And your point of view is perfect: low enough to show details on the front soldiers but high enough to emphasize their large number. The softness of the photo is a plus in my opinion. Higher contrast, a lot of sharpening, or starker shadows would have focused more attention on the front soldiers and detracted from the overall effect. Nevertheless, a very small amount of sharpening would enhance the overall texture.
This is a well made image that you can justifiably be proud of.
Hmmm, I like this one a lot. Though, for my tastes, I think I'd like it more if you'd made the far left wall a little more parallel to the edge of the photo. I guess I'm saying this so you could convey the infiniteness to the sides more so than you have already. I like the depth of this, and the focus fading out as the soldiers get more distant. good job. 8
Fantastic image. Fits the challenge perfectly, high interest impact, I love the subject. Lighting, composition and focus are great. I would love to see this in person - saw a special on tv about them. Very well shot. 10
That must be an awesome sight to see. I didn't realize there were that many of them uncovered. Are these reproductions or the real ones? Looks like there are repeats, so they must be reproductions.
This is just a cool shot !
This is defiantly a 10 from me. I like the straight on shot with the lead lines into the upper third. The shot has a lot of interest. I stare at it trying to figure out if these are toys or statues at life size. Awesome shot.
