EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aly Song, a passenger jet soars through the sky towards its destination at Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai. The image beautifully showcases the power and grace of modern air travel as the aircraft cuts through the clouds with confidence. The composition of the photograph is striking, with the solitary plane taking center stage against a backdrop of ominous storm clouds. The contrast between the dark, foreboding weather and a small patch of sunshine breaking through creates a sense of drama and anticipation. Aly Song's creative use of space allows viewers to imagine themselves on board this flight, experiencing both awe-inspiring views from above and an exhilarating journey towards their desired location. The absence of people within the frame emphasizes that this is not just any ordinary flight but rather an opportunity for personal exploration and adventure. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how interconnected our world has become thanks to air travel. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences, we all share one planet - one environment that deserves protection and preservation. This photograph encapsulates both the beauty and potential dangers associated with flying. It reminds us to appreciate nature's power while also acknowledging humanity's ability to conquer great heights in pursuit of discovery and connection.
