EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ricardo Moraes, the sun gracefully sets behind a solitary burned tree amidst billowing smoke, as a vast tract of Amazon jungle succumbs to flames. Taken in Rio Pardo, Rondonia, Brazil on September 15th, 2019, the image portrays the devastating consequences of land clearing by farmers. The scene is shrouded in an eerie darkness and dominated by dark hues that reflect the somberness of the situation. The creative use of lighting highlights the burnt branches and emphasizes their stark contrast against the vibrant sunset sky. With no human presence visible within the frame, nature takes center stage. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our environment's fragility and underscores humanity's impact on it. It encapsulates both beauty and destruction simultaneously - showcasing a breathtaking landscape while also revealing its tragic transformation due to deforestation practices. As we gaze upon this image, we are compelled to contemplate our responsibility towards preserving Earth's natural wonders for future generations. It urges us to take action against climate change and protect invaluable ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest from further harm. Ricardo Moraes' skillful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys an urgent message about environmental conservation.
