In this shot, I wasn’t just photographing a chess hall I was searching for that silent move happening inside the player\'s mind I was drawn to the geometry of the repeating tables and the surrounding void so I decided to isolate all the noise in black and white letting the light alone narrate the story
To me this scene is my private harbor where focus transforms into an artistic solitude and the player becomes the sole hero in a space filled with possibilities It is a heavy moment of anticipation documented exactly as I felt it quiet sharp, and organized to remain a visual witness to the silent struggle of the mind against the vast profound void in all its deep and beautiful details
People\\\'s lives in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, on Mutanabbi Street, the area where poets, writers, artists, and other segments of the Iraqi people gather every Friday.
This is an old heritage café established about seventy years ago.
In a city where time seems to pause, this humble clock repair shop quietly holds the rhythm of old Baghdad. A man passes by slowly, as if he, too, carries the weight of time.

A powerful black and white portrait capturing the raw essence of a seasoned man. The composition features a striking play of light and shadow (Chiaroscuro), emphasizing the rich textures of his weathered beard and the deep-set wisdom in his eyes. The partial concealment of his face by a worn beanie adds a layer of mystery and introspection, inviting the viewer to contemplate the silent stories etched into his features. The high-contrast monochrome finish strips away distractions, focusing purely on the character\\\'s rugged humanity and quiet strength.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наивысшим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
