    A man is fighting a monstrous Phoenix bird - the giver of life. A life giver out of control is sometimes the greatest monster of them all.

      I love the bravery of this man... you see his determination in the eye contact, although the defensive position leaves respect for the beasts power. What a challenge for mankind.

      FÖRSTÅR den mannen slåss med en tandpetare mot ett stort monster.....VET hur det känns!!!! Vem tror du vinner mannen eller monstret? Nä det är väl som med livet enda sättet få VETA är att våga fortsätta leva och se framtiden an....Vi är små myror med lite makt men ibland kan även en liten myra vinna faktist!!!! Ljus&Värme:B&H

      Allt en konstnär gör är ju någon form av självporträtt. Hur det gick? Jag har huvudet upp och fötterna ner fortfarande.

      Considdering this is refered to as a "martial arts" picture at the top, it strikes me as odd that the man would fight with such a poor posture.. isnt this the first thing any art will teach you? - It does, without doubt, depict bravery and determination, but also suggests a considderable lack of self-controll by the way the weapon is being weilded, and the complete lack of skelital stability in the stance.
      I disagree, however, with what Jacob Matters says about the man being in a 'defensive position' - his weight is forward, his weapon raised, his back leg bent and head down - If anything, this is an agressive stance (if rather a poor one) But this could be refering to the old phrase; "Attack is the best form of defence"

      Damn. I love the mist-enshrouded effect you achieved on this one. Bravo.

      I find quite nasty to make comments about the fight posture of the person facing the phoenix.
      The combat is perhaps about to begin and some sort of salute comes first.
      I like it a lot, and the fogy atmosphere is an important detail for me.
