EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Kim Kyung-Hoon, a surreal juxtaposition unfolds as a lunar eclipse gracefully embraces the night sky over a street light in Tokyo. The image, taken on January 31,2018, showcases the creative use of contrasting elements - the celestial wonders above and the vibrant neon lights below. The moon takes center stage as it casts an enchanting orange hue against the dark canvas of space. Its circular shape stands out amidst other out-of-focus planets and celestial bodies that dot the backdrop. This natural phenomenon adds an ethereal touch to an otherwise ordinary cityscape. Beneath this cosmic spectacle, a solitary street lamp illuminates its surroundings with a soft glow. The contrast between artificial and natural lighting creates an intriguing visual dynamic. With no people present in the frame, nature's grandeur is accentuated even further. Kim Kyung-Hoon's expert composition allows for ample copy space around these two contrasting subjects. It invites viewers to ponder upon their own interpretations of this mesmerizing scene – perhaps contemplating our place within both earthly and celestial realms. This stunning photograph serves as a reminder of how small we are in comparison to the vastness of outer space while simultaneously highlighting humanity's ability to find beauty in unexpected places.
