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.
