EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures a mesmerizing moment during the annual Perseid meteor shower near Cancun, Mexico. Taken on August 12,2013, photographer Victor Ruiz Garcia skillfully uses a long exposure technique to showcase the sheer power and beauty of nature. Against a dark and stormy sky, a plane soars gracefully over the vast expanse of the sea as lightning illuminates the scene. The low angle view emphasizes the immensity of both the aircraft and its surroundings. The moon shines brightly in the distance, adding an ethereal touch to this already captivating image. With no people in sight, it's as if time has stood still for this fleeting instant. Garcia's creative use of long exposure allows us to witness every detail: from each individual star dotting the night sky to every ripple on the water's surface. The contrast between blue hues and white lightning bolts creates a dramatic atmosphere that is both awe-inspiring and serene. This photograph reminds us of our place within nature's grandeur - how small we are compared to its forces yet privileged enough to witness such extraordinary moments. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to explore even amidst turbulent weather conditions. In summary, Garcia's capture showcases not only his technical prowess but also his ability to find beauty in even the most tempestuous settings.
