EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Rupak De Chowdhuri, we witness a moment of respite from the scorching heat in Kolkata, India. The image showcases a man fearlessly leaping into the refreshing waters of Tollys Nullah to seek relief on an oppressively hot day. The composition is truly remarkable as it offers a unique perspective from above, allowing us to appreciate the creative use of shadows and light. From this vantage point, we see the man's silhouette cast against the muddy surface of the river, creating an intriguing contrast between his figure and the environment around him. As he gracefully defies gravity, suspended in mid-air before plunging into the water below, one cannot help but admire his audacity. This daring act serves as a reminder of our innate connection with nature and our instinctive desire to find solace within its embrace. The surrounding landscape adds depth to this scene; towering trees frame the view while hinting at their own relief from soaring temperatures. It is through such moments that we are reminded of both our vulnerability and resilience in adapting to ever-changing weather patterns. Rupak De Chowdhuri masterfully captures this fleeting instant where time seems suspended - a testament to human creativity amidst nature's grandeur.
