EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Kim Kyung-Hoon, we witness the thrilling chase between a hawk and a pigeon during a falconry demonstration held by the Suwa falconry preservation society as part of New Year celebrations in Tokyo. The image captures the intensity and agility of both birds, frozen in time against a backdrop of nature's beauty. Falconry in Japan has an astonishing history that spans over 1,600 years, with its roots deeply embedded within the imperial family. As guardians of this ancient art form, the Suwa falconry preservation society showcases their expertise through such mesmerizing demonstrations. The photograph highlights intricate details: from every feather on the hawk's majestic wings to the focused determination in its eyes. We can almost feel the wind rushing past as these two magnificent creatures engage in their age-old dance. With no human presence visible, it is solely nature taking center stage here. The composition allows us to appreciate not only the sheer power and grace displayed by these avian predators but also offers an opportunity for reflection on our connection with wildlife and our shared planet. Kim Kyung-Hoon's masterful use of depth-of-field adds further dimension to this visual narrative, emphasizing both proximity and distance simultaneously. This stunning snapshot serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling cityscapes like Tokyo, moments of natural wonder are never far away if we take notice.
