Challenge: Dead End II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-600D/T3i Rebel
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 USM II
Location: Covered Souq, Dubai U.A.E
Date: Jun 2, 2012
Aperture: 22.0
ISO: 1600
Shutter: 4
Date Uploaded: Jun 5, 2012

 I captured this shot early in the morning in the covered souq (Arabic for marketplace) in Dubai.. The shot was visualised to be the 'gateway to heaven' (the literal and inevitable end), and i wished and waited for the right subject to come along. The moment this man wearing flowing white clothes walked in, i just knew it had to be him.. He signifies the angel at heaven`s gates, welcoming souls into the afterlife.

This is my interpretation of a dead end.. I sincerely hope that you guys like it! :-)

I sure like the lines here and the tiny figure centered in the doorway adds an important sense of scale to the image.
