EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Lakruwan Wanniarachchi, we are transported to a serene moment at a zoo in Dehiwala near Colombo. The image showcases an elegant egret perching gracefully on the lush foliage of a lake. As the bird delicately balances itself, its slender body and long neck create a striking silhouette against the backdrop of vibrant green seaweed. Sri Lanka's abundant bird life is well-documented, with approximately 433 species recorded within its borders. This particular snapshot captures the essence of that rich diversity, highlighting the beauty and grace of one such avian resident. The horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate the egret's poise as it surveys its surroundings with keen eyesight. Its presence adds an offbeat charm to this tranquil scene, reminding us of nature's wonders even within man-made spaces like zoos. Lakruwan Wanniarachchi's skillful capture not only immortalizes this picturesque moment but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards preserving these delicate ecosystems for future generations. Through his lens, he invites us to marvel at both the simplicity and complexity found in nature – from the intricate details of each leaf to the effortless flight of birds. This AFP photograph stands as testament to Wanniarachchi's talent in capturing fleeting moments that evoke emotions and inspire appreciation for our natural world.
