EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Navesh Chitrakar, the incredible bond between humans and elephants is beautifully showcased. The image depicts a close-up moment where an elephant's trunk delicately touches a visitor's hand in search of food at Sauraha in Chitwan, Nepal. The picture was taken during the Elephant Race event, which brought together elephants and their mahouts from Chitwan for various sports and activities. As part of the exhibition soccer match, this particular elephant demonstrated its gentle nature as it interacted with visitors. The photograph perfectly captures the essence of friendship between these majestic creatures and humans. The unrecognizable visitor extends their hand towards the wild animal, creating an intimate connection that transcends species boundaries. The depth of field adds to the overall impact of the image, highlighting every detail from the wrinkles on the elephant's trunk to its expressive eyes. The silhouette effect creates a sense of mystery while emphasizing their closeness against a backdrop filled with air and creative use of copy space. This remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and showcases how moments like these can create lasting memories. It encapsulates both awe-inspiring beauty and profound respect for wildlife within one frame.
