EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Maxim Shemetov, the Christ the Saviour Cathedral stands tall and majestic, its grandeur reflected on the icy surface of Moscow's Moskva river. The cold winter air adds a touch of frostiness to the scene, creating a mesmerizing contrast between the frozen water and the warm glow emanating from the cathedral's exterior. The image showcases both urban city life and religious devotion in one frame. The towering temple represents faith and spirituality while being surrounded by an environment that is both natural and man-made. With no people present, it allows viewers to focus solely on the magnificent architecture of this religious building. What makes this photograph truly unique is how it presents an upside-down perspective. By capturing the reflection of Christ the Saviour Cathedral on the icy river, Shemetov offers a creative use of composition that invites contemplation about our perception of reality. As winter holds its grip over Moscow, freezing temperatures have transformed both land and water into a frozen wonderland. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes resilience amidst harsh weather conditions. With ample copy space surrounding this stunning visual display, viewers are encouraged to reflect upon their own beliefs as they immerse themselves in this serene depiction of faith meeting nature's elements.
