EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ethereal beauty of a partial solar eclipse as it gracefully emerges through billowing clouds, near the majestic cross of the Church of St Nicholas the Miracle-Maker in Sofia. Taken on March 20,2015, this rare celestial event coincided with the first day of northern spring and was visible across parts of Africa, Europe, and Asia. However, only fortunate observers in the Faroe Islands and Svalbard had the privilege to witness a total eclipse. The photographer's low angle view adds an enchanting perspective to this natural phenomenon. The moon delicately obscures part of the sun's brilliance while casting a unique dark color against an otherwise picturesque sky. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as darkness gradually engulfs daylight during this extraordinary phase. Stoyan Nenov skillfully captures not just a momentary spectacle but also evokes our sense of wonder towards our vast universe. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, nature continues to astound us with its awe-inspiring displays. As we gaze upon this out-of-focus scene where no people are present, we are reminded that there are forces greater than ourselves at play in our environment. It is through such glimpses into these cosmic events that we gain appreciation for both our place within nature and its power over us
