    A beauty, Tina. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif Not only the textures are great but it conveys the vastness of the space. I can hear the reverberence of sound.

    What makes this picture for me is the fact that the Imam is in motion and that we see one bare foot.

    Add to that the glorious capture of the setting, with it's chandeliers and stunning Islamic art - plus the practical presence of fans - and your photograph tells a rich story.

    Excellent framing too.

    Thanks, Travis! The detail is due to those Leica lenses and that old-fashioned stuff known as film. :D

    Thanks, everybody who commented. iloveyou.gif

    Yeah, and I saw a booth with a phone in it. Now we all don't have to carry our own phones around with us! rolleyes1.gif

    I love the textures of the shot. Your framing (and timing with the man) capture it beautifully.

    The surprise to me is that the chandeliers are not perfectly aligned...
