EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Akhtar Soomro, a black kite soars gracefully past a curious cat in Karachi, Pakistan. The image portrays an intriguing moment as the bird of prey attempts to snatch a piece of meat left on the road by people who believe in feeding birds and animals for good luck. With its wings spread wide and eyes focused on the prize, the kite showcases its instinctual hunting skills against the backdrop of an urban environment. The composition beautifully captures the coexistence between wild creatures and domesticated animals within our surroundings. It highlights how nature finds unique ways to adapt and thrive amidst human activity. The contrasting elements of predator and prey create a sense of tension frozen in time. Suspended mid-air, we witness this creative use of space where both bird and cat momentarily share their paths along this bustling road. The absence of humans adds to the tranquility surrounding this extraordinary encounter. Through Soomro's lens, we are reminded of nature's resilience and beauty even within an urban landscape. This photograph serves as a gentle reminder that our actions can have far-reaching consequences for wildlife around us, urging us to appreciate their presence while fostering harmony with them in our shared environment.
