I enjoyed your ECKO series...I'm sorry I didn't write any comments but the 2nd one was my favorite. This is an interesting one too...is that Chairman Mao Tse Tung? It certainly looks like it. The photo is interesting to say the least!!

@Colour blind: Thanks Kelly! No worries re the comments. I think it could be Mao, but I didn't realize that while I was shooting it or processing it. He was made of china and appeared to be Chinese and that's all I knew! haha!
He was in the window of a hotel lounge and I shot him from the outside through the glass, so I guess that's where the reflection comes from.
@Angry Buddha: Think you're right, Sean.

This photo is cool as its really hard to work what the scale is.

@Francis: Thanks Francis! That's what I was aiming for with this one. I thought it looked a bit like he was in his living room.
@Daniel: Thanks Daniel! No one more deserving of it I reckon! ;-)

Ni hao, Stu! You're an Old China Hand too! Nice atmospheric setup. These sorts of objects are difficult to capture without overpowering them.
