EDITORS COMMENTS
In this breathtaking print captured by Ilya Naymushin, the Siberian town of Zheleznogorsk comes alive with an awe-inspiring display of light and movement. Against the backdrop of a dark winter night, hundreds of skiers and snowboarders descend from a snowy slope while holding lit torches and flashlights. The long exposure technique used in this image creates a mesmerizing effect as the trails of light intertwine, illuminating the cold air around them. The unrecognizable crowd becomes part of a magical scene, their silhouettes blending seamlessly with the picturesque forest and towering trees. As they make their way down the slope, their torches create an enchanting atmosphere that seems to defy nature itself. It is as if they are admiring not only the view before them but also celebrating their connection to it. This creative composition showcases both the power and beauty found in nature during wintertime. The contrast between darkness and illumination captures our imagination, reminding us that even in harsh weather conditions, there is still room for wonderment. With its captivating play on light trails and creative use of copy space, this photograph transports us into a world where ordinary individuals become part of an extraordinary spectacle – one that leaves us breathless with admiration for both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's grandeur.
