EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a Kazakh hunter sprints through the snow-covered Chengelsy Gorge, his eyes fixed on his majestic golden eagle. The exhilaration of the moment is palpable as the bird of prey triumphantly clutches a rabbit in its powerful talons. The photograph captures the essence of an annual hunting competition that takes place in Kazakhstan's breathtaking wilderness, some 150 km east of Almaty. Against a backdrop of pristine white snow and with wings outstretched, the golden eagle exudes an air of untamed beauty. The hunter remains unrecognizable, adding to the sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding this traditional practice. As he races towards his loyal companion, their bond is evident – a testament to centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Every detail comes alive in this frozen moment: from the intricate feathers adorning both man and beast to the intense focus etched onto their faces. The cold winter weather adds depth and atmosphere to this remarkable scene. With creative use of lighting and composition, photographer Shamil Zhumatov has captured not only an extraordinary act but also nature's raw power at play. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate every nuance – from the sharp beak poised for attack to each individual feather glistening under sunlight. This image serves as a reminder that amidst our modern world, ancient customs still thrive; where humans coexist harmoniously with wild animals against stunning natural landscapes.
