EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, we witness a rare celestial event unfold as Planet Venus gracefully glides across the sun, resembling nothing more than a tiny black dot resting delicately on a man's hand. Taken in Amman on June 6,2012, this image captures the last visible transit of Venus from Earth for over a century. The composition is truly remarkable; with an unrecognizable figure holding his hand up against the vast expanse of the sky, it emphasizes our insignificance in comparison to the grandeur of the universe. The blue sky serves as a perfect backdrop for this extraordinary occurrence, while natural light beautifully illuminates both Venus and the man's hand. The creative use of depth of field adds an artistic touch to the photograph. By keeping only certain elements in focus - namely Venus and its shadowy silhouette against ancient Greek architecture - Ali Jarekji masterfully guides our attention towards these key details. This image not only showcases nature's wonders but also highlights humanity's fascination with celestial bodies. It reminds us that even though we may be small beings living on Earth, we are part of something much larger and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, let us appreciate both our place within the cosmos and our ability to capture such breathtaking moments through photography.
