23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Photographed during a religious ceremony on a rainy day in a village in Ardabil.

I went to a village in Ardabil to photograph a religious ceremony, and it was a rainy and cloudy day. My attention was drawn to the ground, where the shadow of the flag and the sunlight were shining, creating waves. I took a photo of that image.
