EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Shannon Stapleton, an imam leads Eid al-Fitr services as Muslim worshippers gather to pray in the vibrant borough of Queens, New York. The image showcases a powerful display of faith and devotion against the backdrop of a clear blue sky adorned with fluffy clouds. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur and significance of the moment, while also highlighting the intricate patterns created by parallel lines formed by ropes and architectural elements. The worshippers are depicted in a head and shoulders shot, their identities intentionally concealed, symbolizing unity within diversity. As they stand alone but together in prayer, their traditional headwear adds to the visual richness of the scene. With depth of field creatively employed, attention is drawn towards one worshipper who takes center stage amidst others praying nearby. This photograph beautifully captures both tradition and modernity coexisting harmoniously within this diverse community. It serves as a testament to religious freedom and tolerance that thrives in Queens – a melting pot where people from different backgrounds come together to celebrate their shared beliefs. Stapleton's lens has immortalized this sacred moment during Eid al-Fitr services - an occasion marking the end of Ramadan - reminding us all about the power of faith and its ability to bring people closer regardless of cultural or geographical boundaries.
