EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the ancient city of Rome during an extraordinary moment. The iconic Colosseum stands tall and majestic, its grandeur enhanced by a heavy snowfall that blankets the entire landscape. Taken with a fisheye lens, the image captures not only the architectural marvel of this historic landmark but also the surrounding urban cityscape. As real people brave the cold and walk along a snowy road, their silhouettes against the white backdrop create a striking contrast. The frozen trees and icy air add to the enchanting atmosphere of this winter wonderland. The creative use of perspective through the fisheye lens amplifies both the monument's size and its significance as an ancient Roman treasure. The Colosseum itself is beautifully framed against a sky filled with swirling snowflakes, emphasizing its enduring presence amidst changing seasons. This photograph serves as a reminder of how nature can transform even familiar landmarks into breathtaking scenes straight out of a fairy tale. Alberto Lingria's skillful composition captures not just an architectural masterpiece but also evokes emotions tied to our connection with history, culture, and nature. It invites us to contemplate on our place in time while appreciating both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's ability to transform ordinary moments into extraordinary ones.
