EDITORS COMMENTS
In the vibrant village of Kelaniya, just 10 km from Colombo, a man fearlessly takes on the challenge of a lifetime. With determination etched on his face, he attempts to conquer a greased wooden pole that stands tall before him. His goal? To reach the fluttering flag at its peak and claim a handsome cash prize. This awe-inspiring moment captures an age-old tradition deeply rooted in Sri Lanka's Sinhala and Tamil New Year celebrations. As the sun casts its warm glow upon the scene, our protagonist battles against gravity, defying all odds with every step he takes. The low angle view accentuates his courageous ascent while juxtaposing his silhouette against a serene backdrop of billowing clouds and lush greenery. The national flag proudly flutters atop the pole, symbolizing patriotism and unity within this urban cityscape. Andrew Caballero-Reynolds skillfully captures this extraordinary feat with creative use of composition and lighting. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on our daring climber as he braves both physical obstacles and personal limitations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of humanity's indomitable spirit – one that seeks adventure amidst nature's grandeur. It serves as a testament to human resilience and unwavering determination in pursuit of greatness. Let this photograph inspire us all to embrace challenges head-on, for it is through such endeavors that we discover our true potential amid the great outdoors.
