Captured at the iconic Al-Shaheed Monument in Baghdad, this photograph highlights the striking geometric elegance of the memorial dedicated to Iraq's fallen soldiers. By utilizing a wide-angle lens, the photographer emphasizes the monumental scale and the dramatic split-dome architecture against the clear sky.

This image is award-worthy for its technical precision and its ability to transform a solemn, architectural landmark into a compelling visual narrative that honors both the design of Saman Kamal and the spirit of the monument.
