EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, the vibrant spirit of the Tihar festival illuminates the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. A taxi gracefully glides through a mesmerizing display of lights that adorn every corner, creating an enchanting atmosphere ahead of Diwali, also known as the Hindu festival of lights. The close-up shot beautifully captures the shine and exterior details of the taxi against a backdrop filled with bokeh effects. The writing in the picture adds an element of intrigue while emphasizing the urban city setting. As light reflects off various surfaces, it creates a magical play between shadows and illumination. Chitrakar's creative use of depth-of-field allows us to focus on the taxi itself while subtly blurring out other elements in its surroundings. This technique draws attention to both its presence and absence; no people are visible inside or outside the vehicle. A sign notice caught slightly out-of-focus hints at bustling activity nearby but leaves room for interpretation. The air feels charged with anticipation as if something extraordinary is about to unfold during this festive season. This remarkable photograph showcases Chitrakar's skillful composition and his ability to capture fleeting moments that evoke emotions within viewers. It serves as a visual reminder that even amidst darkness, light has an incredible power to transform ordinary scenes into extraordinary experiences.
