Protesters cast their shadows on a Bulgarian flag as they shout anti-government slogans
Protesters cast their shadows on a Bulgarian flag as they shout anti-government slogans during a demonstration in central Sofia June 19, 2013. Bulgarias parliament dismissed a powerful media figure from his post as head of national security on Wednesday, hoping the move will put an end to protest rallies against the countrys fragile three-week-old government. Thousands of Bulgarians have been demonstrating in Sofia and other cities since last Friday demanding that the Socialist-led coalition quit after it hurt its credibility by naming lawmaker Delyan Peevski to head the security service without any debate.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Stoyan Nenov, protesters in Bulgaria cast their shadows on the national flag as they raise their voices against the government. The image depicts a demonstration that took place in central Sofia on June 19,2013. Thousands of Bulgarians had taken to the streets demanding the resignation of the Socialist-led coalition after it appointed Delyan Peevski as head of national security without any debate. The composition of the photograph is striking, with the silhouettes of protestors forming stark contrasts against both the vibrant green and bold red colors of their country's flag. Their shadows symbolize not only their unity but also serve as a metaphor for standing up against injustice and oppression. This image captures a moment filled with passion, determination, and patriotism. It showcases how ordinary people can come together to confront those in power when they feel betrayed or let down. The use of creative framing highlights both individual faith and collective strength within a larger group. Nenov's photograph serves as a reminder that protests are not just about voicing grievances; they are about celebrating democracy and fighting for what one believes is right. By capturing this significant event in Bulgarian history, Nenov immortalizes these brave individuals who stood up for change under an open sky while casting long shadows on their nation's flag.
