EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by Dinuka Liyanawatte, we are presented with a surreal and evocative scene. Against the backdrop of an overcast day in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a woman carrying an umbrella becomes a striking silhouette as she walks past a window covered in raindrops. The creative use of composition allows us to see her through the density of water droplets on the glass. The image conveys a sense of solitude and resilience as the unrecognizable figure navigates through adversity. The grey tones and somber atmosphere emphasize the challenging conditions brought about by wet weather. However, amidst this gloominess, there is also beauty found in the way raindrops create patterns on the window pane. The woman's umbrella symbolizes protection against nature's elements while highlighting her determination to carry on despite unfavorable circumstances. This photograph serves as a reminder that even during difficult times, individuals find ways to shield themselves from life's challenges. Liyanawatte's skillful capture not only showcases his creativity but also invites viewers to reflect upon their own experiences with struggle and how they navigate through them. It is an image that resonates with anyone who has faced adversity yet continues to move forward undeterred by external forces beyond their control.
