EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Athit Perawongmetha, we witness a unique moment of tranquility and preparation in the bustling province of Chonburi, Thailand. The image showcases an extraordinary water buffalo indulging in a refreshing shower before a practice session leading up to Chonburi's annual buffalo race festival. Owned by Anan Chalermlarb, this magnificent creature stands proudly as water droplets glisten on its sleek exterior. With its leash gently held, the wild animal appears calm and composed, ready to embrace the upcoming challenges with grace and determination. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every detail - from the majestic horns that adorn its head to the depth of field that beautifully captures its wet coat. As it looks directly at the camera, there is an undeniable sense of connection between human and beast. This picture not only highlights nature's beauty but also emphasizes our responsibility towards preserving such environments for these incredible creatures. It serves as a reminder of how essential it is for us to respect wildlife and their habitats. Through creative use of water as both a symbol of refreshment and cleansing, Perawongmetha has managed to capture a moment where air meets water, creating an atmosphere that exudes serenity amidst anticipation. This remarkable snapshot truly encapsulates both the power and vulnerability found within nature's realm.
