Well done to capture the detail and beauty of this ancient warrior , Chris. I like the contrast of the old with the modern. Lovley POV and as always very interesting subject. Well done.

Hello Chris
Lovely capture, it doesnt betray the glass enclosure' presence at all.
Nic lighting making it a fine composition.

Awesome! I really like this. Great job with the available lighting- I would have messed up a picture if I tried this. :)
Great colors and details.

Hello Chris!

The black nuance emphasizes the Terracotta Archer!

These warriors are amazing! It's an amazing feat of human engineering to make all these soldiers! Some day I would love to see them in person!

Hi Chris, Good result through glass, i also like the real folk in the frame as it shows the scale and reality of the ceramic ware. Excellent subject. TFS. Murray.

Looks like a still from an action movie for some reason,
Great color and mood.

Hi Chris,
Excellent photo with the mingling of the old and the present. I like the idea of very sharp image of the old warrior and the somewhat faded images of the living! Well seen and captured.

I'm impressed, Chris. A nice capture without tripod nor flash, on film... Ok, you used a fast lens, but even so, the film's sensitivity was just 100 ISO.
Besides the warrior, you also made a nice capture of the visitors.
Well done.
