EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Shamil Zhumatov, a bird gracefully soars above a vibrant poppy field, set against the stunning backdrop of a bustling city and the majestic Tien Shan mountains. Taken on May 14,2015, in Almaty, Kazakhstan, this image encapsulates the harmonious coexistence between nature and urban life. The contrasting elements in this composition create an awe-inspiring scene. The delicate red poppies stand out vividly against the greenery of the nonagricultural field while symbolizing beauty in nature. The bird's flight adds an ethereal touch to the picture as it navigates through the open sky with ease. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also highlights environmental themes. It serves as a reminder that even within an urban setting, pockets of natural wonder can thrive and provide solace from bustling city life. The snow-capped peaks of the Tien Shan mountains further emphasize how nature perseveres amidst human development. Zhumatov's creative use of depth of field enhances our perception of distance and scale; it allows us to appreciate both close-up details like individual poppies and distant features such as buildings or mountain ranges simultaneously. This image captures a moment frozen in time where serenity meets dynamism—a testament to Mother Nature's resilience amid modernity's rapid pace.
