EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing skyline of downtown Shanghai on a hazy day, transporting viewers to the bustling metropolis of China. Taken by talented photographer Aly Song on November 17,2014, this image showcases the city's unique blend of modernity and tradition. Through the veil of haze that blankets the scene, towering skyscrapers pierce through the mist, reaching for the heavens in an awe-inspiring display of architectural prowess. The muted colors lend an ethereal quality to this urban landscape, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of Shanghai's rapid development and its status as one of Asia's most vibrant economic hubs. The juxtaposition between old and new is evident; traditional Chinese buildings stand alongside contemporary glass structures, symbolizing both heritage and progress. The atmosphere created by the haze adds depth to this composition. It softens harsh edges and blurs distant objects ever so slightly, creating a dreamlike ambiance that invites contemplation. This visual effect also serves as a poignant reminder of environmental challenges faced by rapidly growing cities like Shanghai. Aly Song's skillful lens has captured not just a view but an entire narrative within this single frame—a story about growth, resilience, and beauty amidst urban chaos. This photograph stands as a testament to human ingenuity while urging us to reflect on our impact on nature in our relentless pursuit for progress.
