EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a young boy fearlessly takes on the challenge of climbing up a greasy pole during a thrilling competition at Sinhala, the Hindu and Tamil New Year celebrations in Bandaragama, Sri Lanka. The image captured by Dinuka Liyanawatte showcases the determination and balance exhibited by the boy as he confronts the slippery obstacle. The low angle view emphasizes the height of the pole against the serene backdrop of a beautiful blue sky adorned with fluffy white clouds. The creative use of silhouette adds an artistic touch to this dynamic shot, highlighting both nature's elements and human resilience. Surrounded by open space and unrecognizable people cheering him on from below, it is evident that this event brings together communities in celebration. As he ascends higher towards victory, his journey symbolizes not only physical strength but also personal growth and overcoming challenges. This photograph serves as a reminder of our innate ability to conquer obstacles through perseverance and courage. It captures a moment frozen in time where determination meets opportunity amidst an atmosphere filled with excitement and anticipation.
