EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, a monkey is seen delicately sipping water from a pond in Kathmandu. The reflection of the curious primate creates a mesmerizing visual effect, as if two worlds are colliding - one above the surface and one below. This enchanting moment took place at Swayambhunath stupa, affectionately known as Monkey Temple due to its resident monkey population. The significance of this image is further enhanced by the presence of Nepali writing in the background that reads "May peace prevail on earth". It serves as a poignant reminder of the universal desire for harmony amidst our chaotic world. The juxtaposition between the peaceful message and the untamed wildness of nature represented by the monkey adds depth to this photograph. Chitrakar's creative use of composition is evident through his choice to capture only one subject against a backdrop filled with parallel lines created by architectural elements. This minimalist approach draws attention solely to the monkey and its serene interaction with nature. With no people visible in sight, we are left alone with this adorable creature, appreciating its innocence and beauty. The side view angle showcases every detail - from its expressive eyes to its agile hands holding onto an unseen branch. Overall, Chitrakar's skillful photography transports us into an intimate encounter with wildlife while reminding us of our shared responsibility to protect and preserve these precious creatures and their habitats.
