EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Jorge Lopez, vultures soar gracefully over a broken cross in the Municipal Cemetery of Guatemala City. The image, taken on November 26,2012, showcases the juxtaposition between nature and religion in an intriguing manner. The low angle view emphasizes the instinctual flight of these wild animals against the backdrop of an open blue sky. The flock of vultures adds a sense of beauty to this otherwise empty and tranquil cemetery landscape. As they gather around the broken cross shape, one cannot help but ponder the symbolism behind their presence. This photograph not only highlights the stunning natural environment but also touches upon themes such as climate change and its impact on wildlife. The creative use of composition draws attention to both traditional elements like religious buildings and historic sites while showcasing nature's resilience amidst human structures. Lopez's masterful capture evokes a certain atmospheric mood with its depiction of birds in flight against wind-swept trees. It serves as a reminder that even within moments of decay or depression, there is still inherent beauty found in nature's delicate balance. Overall, this thought-provoking image invites viewers to contemplate our relationship with both our surroundings and our beliefs while appreciating the picturesque scenes that unfold before us.
