EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the monumental construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait, connecting mainland Russia to Crimea. Taken from the outskirts of the Taman settlement in Krasnodar region, southern Russia, on April 4,2016, it showcases the sheer scale and ambition of this engineering marvel. The image beautifully juxtaposes man-made structures with nature's elements. A towering crane dominates the foreground, symbolizing human ingenuity and determination in conquering vast distances. The distant bridge stretches across the serene waters of the strait towards Crimea while disappearing into an expansive sky filled with fluffy clouds. The photographer skillfully employs creative composition to emphasize both harmony and contrast between land and water, industry and environment. The horizon line acts as a visual anchor that separates these two realms while also highlighting their interconnectedness. Notably absent from this scene are people; instead, wildlife thrives undisturbed amidst this grand endeavor. Waves gently lap against supporting pillars below as if celebrating this union between nations. Andrew Osborn's lens captures more than just construction work – it encapsulates a momentous undertaking that will forever alter landscapes and lives alike. This photograph serves as a testament to human achievement in shaping our world while reminding us of nature's enduring presence even amidst such ambitious endeavors.
