EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Karim Sahib from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the Liwa Oasis, southwest of Abu Dhabi, where Emirati bird keeper Mohammed Rakan Bin Harwon Al-Qubassy shares an intimate moment with his majestic falcon. As the sun sets in the horizon, casting a warm golden glow over the scene, we witness the falcon flapping its wings gracefully under Al-Qubassy's watchful gaze. Falconry has deep roots in Emirati culture and tradition. These magnificent birds were once used for hunting purposes but now find themselves protected as hunting is prohibited in Abu Dhabi. The silhouette of both man and bird against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset creates a sense of serenity and harmony between nature and human connection. The image encapsulates not only the beauty of these regal creatures but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility to preserve wildlife and honor cultural heritage. It symbolizes the delicate balance between progress and conservation that societies strive to achieve. Karim Sahib's skillful composition captures this fleeting moment frozen in time, inviting us to appreciate both the natural wonders surrounding us and our shared humanity with animals. This photograph stands as a testament to our collective duty towards safeguarding these remarkable species for generations to come.
