EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by David Mercado, the vibrant Whipala (Andean flag) proudly waves against the backdrop of the Tiahuanaco ruins on a significant day marking the winter solstice in Bolivia. The low angle view emphasizes its square shape and allows it to shine brilliantly under the natural light. The exterior setting showcases both the national flag's shadow and its striking contrast against a clear blue sky, creating a visually stunning pattern that is further enhanced by sun rays and lens flare. The creative use of lighting highlights every detail of this landscape, from the geometrical silhouette of the flag to its black color glowing with intensity. With no people present in the frame, attention is solely drawn to this one colorful symbol that represents Bolivian heritage and identity. The image beautifully captures how nature intertwines with culture as it portrays an environment where seasons change and weather transforms. Against the horizon line, we witness a moment frozen in time - a celebration of tradition amidst shifting elements. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Bolivia's rich history while also showcasing Mercado's artistic talent in capturing such breathtaking moments.
