Fighting the Odds

Women were not allowed to enter the mosque and participate during Eid prayers for some unknown reason. When the prayers got over and everyone started coming out of the mosque. She was the only woman among so many men who just stood there facing everyone who came out one by one. I purposely photographed this moment as a long exposure shot because I wanted to showcase this woman as a Rock standing strong in the river fighting all the Odds.
