1/3 life size reproduction of the Terra Cotta Army in China. There's also a scale model of the entire forbidden city. Not very well known, even in Houston. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Congrats on the 10 ten placement. While the army is the essence of the photograph, I love the way you used the trees as the foundation on either side as will as the lone individual to give the photo a little something special.
The vivid colors and perspective-line pattern of the terracotta army are strong and striking, earning an 8 from me. Consider cropping away the sky and trees for a possibly more powerful image.
Ok, you will have to explain this to me! I have seen photos of this in China. Is it on display here in Texas, or is this a replica? I cannot imagine something so fragile would go on a world tour.
Wow, you must be in love with the Terra Cotta army. It looks like you purchased a bunch of replicas and built a pit on your property to resemble to ones in Xian, China. Initially, I thought this was digital photography, but then I saw the real person on the divider. A very ambitious project for sure.
