    Wow! I really didn't expect to find my pic in here!

    I must admit I like Eastern Warfare better than mine.
    Go Charge! (a little bit ambiguous, I know...)

    Eastern Warfare... the composition is really fantastic. The juxtaposition of the riders in the foreground works well with the comparatively tiny archers in the background; it gives the viewer a feel for what it felt like to be those respective soldiers: the titanic, armor-clad lancers versus the seemingly insignificant, and certainly more vulnerable, foot archers. The colors are also quite striking: the contrast of orange(ish) wheat and blue sky is very effective. Plus, it's really big, and that works well with the dramatic subject matter.

    a Charge.

    because I like cavalry.

    The only reason I did not choose Eastern Warfare was because the golden grass, which initially looked very nice, drags on for far too long.
    So I was forced to vote for the Charge, (picture, not the Author!), in staunch support of the Horse.
