Artist's Comments

"Greetings, prayers and the good things of life belong to Allah.
Peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be on you, O Prophet.
May peace be upon us and on the devout follower of Allah.
I testify that there is no god but Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His messenger"

That's what every moslem said during his/her last session of praying, and it's called "Tashahud".



What I love in this photograph is the reflection on the floor, the interior architecture of the mosque, and the balance composition of the man praying in the center.

I took this with my Olympus EVOLT E-300. I put the camera on the floor without even looking through the viewfinder. It took me several shots before I finally get the composition I want.

Awesome shot. The building is Beautiful.

I like how the reflection makes it seem almost like the man praying is floating. The look of him floating makes me think he is accomplishing something in his prayer. :) Maybe rising above something and moving a bit closer to god.

again very nice photo :)

S!
