EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Athit Perawongmetha, Buddhist monks are seen immersed in prayer at the Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple during a mesmerizing ceremony on Makha Bucha Day. The image was taken on March 1,2018, in Pathum Thani, Thailand. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns and the mystic ambiance created by long exposure photography. As lightning streaks across the night sky, it adds an ethereal touch to this religious gathering. The exterior of the temple stands tall and majestic as worshippers gather outside to partake in this sacred event. Although their faces remain unrecognizable amidst the crowd of people, their devotion and faith are palpable. The composition creatively uses copy space to emphasize both the grandeur of the building and its integration with nature's elements. This powerful visual encapsulates not only a religious ceremony but also showcases how spirituality can bring people together from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that Buddhism continues to be an influential force shaping lives around the world. Perawongmetha's skillful capture allows us to witness a moment frozen in time where multiple elements converge - weather phenomena, silhouette figures against glowing lights - creating an atmosphere that resonates with peace and tranquility. This photograph invites viewers into a realm where one can almost feel the air charged with devotion and reverence for Buddha's teachings.
