Wow, Javid, this gives me goose-bumps to be honest, so very different from my life but so very much fascinating at the same time. This is really very special with just the black and the very little color of the girl's cloths somewhere in the middle of these praying women. I have a deep connection to your country as my grandmother lived there for six years, and her stories accompanied me through my youth. When other girls were listening to fairy tales I grew up with my grandmother's adventures. She deeply loved your country and one day I will visit. This is excellent work, above the average. Barbara.

Hi Javid,
A good compo with this little red girl in the middle of all these women in black. I like the light in their back.

Hey Javid,
This is a winning capture, drawing a line between the content and interpretation. One's desire to discover what people do and capturing them through the camera. There is a touch of documentary, you presented us the sense of people in worship, the graphic style you rendered here is amazing. The key is a twist in the unexpected, a child pops out in the middle of the composition, having less knowledge of what was going on creates an expressive reality of 'a child's moment'.
This is an excellent image!!!
All the best!

That's an incredible one, Javid. I guess childness is always a lightspot in a dark world.
Well, from my point of view there is something scary from the uniformity (Please take note I would write that for ANY religion or political meeting) : this is very similar to the army alignment... also scary thinking that in a few years she will be one the black ghosts.
Sometimes, I feel out of this world.

Hi Javid,
congratulations for this one ! Very graphic, rhytmic, with the colourful dot in the middle. It tells also a story.

Hello Javid
Incredible imagery, stunning visualisation. The diagonal alignment of women people, regimentally organised like soldiers, the bleak colours of grey, the faceless entities, almost robotic & suddenly between them a spark of light in form of a child, opposing the whole texture of the image. It assaults our visual senses and screams for attention. I really can't express in words how powerful an image this is.
I'll put this into my favourites so that I can look and appreciate for a long time.
With Regards
Angshu

Salam Javid. The little one stands out like a torch in the netherworld. The darkness and the touches of light that give the women form makes them look mummified, awaiting rebirth. Only one of them has turned slightly sideways and one can see the tip of her nose.The effects created are different from what is really going on. I am sure that prayer has lifted many a heart in the mosque and their souls are bright. So, in a sense, this is a work of art, a touch of Surrealism. A moving creation Javid. Salam. Klaudio.

Hello Javid,
Here is another great image showing that through prayer there is hope for life on Earth. As the black shrouds symbolize prayer and the child wearing colorful clothing represents life.
Excellent lighting and PoV...

This is amazing, Javid. The composition is just great. The light is superb and the little red and blue between all the black is cool. I wonder that you were there as you're male.
This goes to my favorites.
Greetings, Nino

Salam, javod. Outstanding shot - of course one cannot help interpreting, as in "Thank God for that tuch of color, that hnt of individuality among the uniform masses", maybe there is comfort in anomymity too, what do we know...?
Photographically it is among the very top of all pictures on this site, in my view.
Best wishes,
Francis

wow, amazing, the human pattern, not only geometrical but the expression of human nature, it's independence, maturing and and sort of ability to adapt, love it.
This is truly on of a kind photo.

Impressive photo, Javid! All those black repetitive bowed bodies filling the image... then, the coloured child facing the opposite...
A strange feel here, hard to put it in words.
Wonderfully seen, mature work.

Hi, Javid.
I am really impressed by this one.
This woman, this "strange element" in this impressive crowd makes the photo.
Very good composition.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Javid,
Awesome! The kind of shot I would expect to see in the "top ten photos of the year by Reuters" or something. I mean how lucky is that to see this 1 girl not dressed in black facing the opposite way???
Very well done!

Hello Javid,
This photo reminds me of a very gripping scene in Schindler's List where you see a small girl wearing a red coat as the only coloured detail in the all black and white surroundings.
There it has a very strong effect and so has this little bit of colour among all the black and grey tones. I think you did a great job here. Beautifully seen and caught.
Kind regards,
Josien

I happened to find this picture which is fantastic.
A perfect use of the light, really a masterpiece.
I was looking around Yazd pictures, as maybe I'll be visiting it april.

آقا دم شما گرم.
کنتل بسیار خوبی روی نور داشتی که یه کیفیت شبه وار و یک شکل وبی هویت به سیاه پوش ها داده وعجب تضادی سرخ بوجودآورده
الان حضور ذهن ندارم از کی ولی ی عکس تو همین مایه از یه زاویه دیگه دیدم با این تفاوت که دختر بچه اون عکس سفید پوش بود
ممنون که به اشتراک گذاشتی
