Overstated Offerings

by nonur

As you may well know, we are going to celebrate the festival of the sacrifice in a few days. (It is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year. It honors the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his promised son. Ishmael a as an act of submission to God's command, before God then intervened to provide Abraham with a lamb to sacrifice instead.) The municipalities reserve plots in and around the cities for the breeders to hold a market for the buyers/sacrificers. One of those plots in our city is six or seven Km away from the part of the city I live, and I went there today to take some photographs. There were not many buyers, still I managed to take a number photos which could be interesting. This is the most colourful one.

Perfect focal length selection and tight composition make this a winner, Nezih.
Best wishes,

I agree with the above, it's a great shot and very different from what we normally see on here.
