[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Mount Arafat or Mount Arafah (Arabic: جبل عرفات; transliterated Jabal 'Arafat) is a granite hill east of Mecca. It is also known as the Mountain of Mercy (Jabal ar-Rahmah). The hill is the place Muhammad delivered the Farewell Sermon to the Muslims who had accompanied him for the Hajj towards the end of his life. It reaches about 70 m in height.
The level area surrounding the hill is called the Plain of Arafat. The term Mount Arafat is sometimes applied to this entire area. It is an important place in Islam because during the Hajj, pilgrims spend the afternoon there on the ninth day of Dhu al-Hijjah (ذو الحجة). Failure to be present in the plain of Arafat on the required day invalidates the pilgrimage.

Muslims believe the Prophet Adam and his wife Eve were reunited on the hill and forgiven by God (اﷲ) after 200 years of separation on account of their disobedience in deference to the suggestion of Satan.

Hi Don!
This is really a greta composition. You have surely captured a great moment. It gives us a real idea of how the place looks like with all these people praying. A place deeply connected to faith. Great idea to show us this, Don!

Wonderful composition Don, nicely exposed shot full of natural colours. The DOF is perfect, focusing all the attention on the main subject who is well placed in the frame. Very touching, Roberto

interesting comp. the mans emotion on the right feels raw. It works very well. I think (personally) I would prefer maybe more of the man in the shot. His presence adds greatly to the shot. I found the note interesting as well. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Don,
I have heard of this place but its for the first time I am seeing what it is all about. Excellent quality, as good as any photo journalists's job.

Well this is a lucky shot !!

and it turned out very beautiful and unique :) TFS

Salma

Great catch of this decisive moment. The sharpness is spot on, and his expression is excellent. I really like the inclusion of the person behind him, reading the Qu'ran.

Great shot!
