Love the high contrast and the subject. You timed so well here, the lady becomes part of the relief's story. Very well done!

All of a sudden these long forgotten soldiers come back to life! Can they keep their severe martial attitude for a long time with that travelmate?

[by the way mtolloczko they are not Assyrian but Persian, this comes from the ruins of Persepolis - Assyria was much before and centered on Euphrate-Tigris not the Fars highland]

Good framing and timing. I think you have tried to achieve a painterly quality of this image by increasing contrast. The colours appear to work well, even though the image is quite blue. The soldiers, I presume, have gone into the annals of history... would she be going there as well? Thanks Sebastian. Although, Assyria, at one point, ruled Persia.

How I wish to go and visit your country. You took a very nice shot here. The two profiles, very nice idea well executed.

Interesting ! Many elements made me notice the great perspective in this picture...
First of all, the color contrasts... but there is something more : the top two heads make an optical illusion ! Since there are two heads, you tend to think you do not focus well, and focus on the lady instead ! very interesting!
Then you realize the background isn't blurred, you've been tricked...
Did someone else feel that ???
I don't know if it was meant this way, but the effect is really great !

Great shot! This is a very surprising effect you got by using the figures above her head. Very well observed and photographed...

Very nice shot. Looks like she is focusing on something right in front of her. Very nice capture.

Salam Roshanak,

beautiful and original, the ancient meets the modern or are they perhaps watching Alexander destroy Takht-e-Jamshid?
