EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Yasuyoshi Chiba from Agence France-Presse (AFP), the vibrant spirit of Brazil's Carnival is brought to life. The image showcases the exuberant revellers of the Portela Samba School, who were crowned champions of the 2017 Rio Carnival. Set against the backdrop of the iconic Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro, these performers take center stage during the Champions Parade on March 5th, 2017. Dressed in elaborate costumes adorned with feathers and sequins, they embody pure joy and passion as they dance their way through the parade route. From a high angle perspective, we are treated to a general view that captures not only the energy and enthusiasm radiating from each performer but also provides a glimpse into the grandeur of this world-renowned event. The carnival float behind them adds an extra touch of spectacle, showcasing intricate designs and colors that further enhance this visual feast for spectators. This photograph immortalizes a moment when celebration transcends boundaries – where music fills every corner, smiles light up faces, and unity prevails among thousands gathered to revel in Brazilian culture. It serves as a testament to both tradition and innovation within Carnival festivities while honoring Portela's victory as they proudly showcase their winning performance. Yasuyoshi Chiba's lens has masterfully frozen an instant in time that encapsulates all that makes Brazil's Carnival so extraordinary – its vibrancy, creativity, and unbridled excitement.
