EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pavel Mikheyev, we witness a poignant moment at the "Alatau Maraly" farm in Kasymbek gorge, Almaty region, Kazakhstan. The image showcases a deer as breeders carefully sever his antlers - renowned for their potent healing properties. This annual ritual is conducted to supply pharmaceutical companies with these prized antlers. The close-up shot allows us to observe the wild animal up-close and personal. With blood trickling down from where its majestic antlers once stood proudly, the detailed composition highlights both the creative use of light and depth of field employed by Mikheyev. As we gaze into the deer's eye, there is an undeniable sense of fear and vulnerability. Alone in nature's embrace, it stands as a symbol of wildlife facing human intervention. The cropped frame emphasizes its solitary existence while leaving ample copy space for contemplation. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our complex relationship with nature and how it can be harnessed for various purposes. It invites us to reflect on ethical questions surrounding commercial practices involving animals while appreciating the beauty that exists within even seemingly mundane moments like this one captured on June 1st, 2019
