This is a photograph of a bronze sculpture called Warrior by Chinese artist Ren Zhe. It sits in my gallery/loft, Yuanfen New Media Art, in Dashanzhi 798 Beijing, China. I commissioned this piece and visited it frequently during the creation process. While it was still a clay figure, before it was caste in bronze, I went to Ren Zhe's studio to check on its progress. I was so struck with the power of the piece, I asked Ren Zhe if, at night, the statue came alive and roamed about his studio. Ren Zhe didn't answer, but looked at me with a knowing smile. Here, I've tried to capture the 500 kilogram bronze warrior in motion.

I'm really enjoying this one. It has a great sense of energy and an ethereal quality (which I would have felt without the redundant title).

Very cool shot, I don't see what is abstract. This would do well in the right challenge.

The vertical lines going through the subject make this shot look effective. Well captured.

It's well done, but it doesn't hold much interest for me... Sorry!
