EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aly Song, the raw power of nature is on full display as lightning illuminates the night sky above the towering buildings of central Shanghai. Taken during a storm on August 7,2017, this image perfectly encapsulates the dramatic beauty and intensity of a natural phenomenon. The dark colors and absence of people in the frame create an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere. The cityscape serves as a striking backdrop for the brilliant flashes of lightning that cut through the darkness. It's as if nature itself is putting on a spectacular light show against an urban canvas. This photograph showcases both the architectural marvels and environmental forces at play in one frame. The creative use of lighting captures not only our attention but also highlights how small we are in comparison to these immense displays of power from Mother Nature. With ample copy space surrounding the scene, viewers can immerse themselves in contemplating their own relationship with nature and its unpredictable elements. This image reminds us that despite our advancements, we are still at mercy to natural forces beyond our control. Aly Song's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and fragility inherent in our environment while reminding us to respect and admire its awe-inspiring wonders.
