EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Alkis Konstantinidis, an Orthodox faithful fearlessly plunges into the icy waters during Epiphany day celebrations in the southern suburb of Faliro in Athens, Greece. The image showcases a lone figure braving the cold, symbolizing their unwavering devotion and commitment to their faith. The unrecognizable silhouette stands out against the backdrop of a stunning sky adorned with fluffy clouds. The swimmer's creative use of their body becomes evident as they navigate through the wave water, creating ripples that blend seamlessly with nature's elements. Despite being surrounded by a coastal environment, this brave individual remains focused on their spiritual journey. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this religious tradition while also highlighting the power and resilience of human spirit. It serves as a reminder that even in challenging circumstances, people can find strength within themselves to overcome obstacles and stay true to what they believe in. Konstantinidis' skillful composition not only portrays an act of faith but also evokes emotions related to endurance and determination. This powerful image invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and contemplate how far they would go for something they hold dear.
