EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Buddhists are seen carrying candles as they encircle a magnificent Buddha statue during Vesak Day in Nakhon Pathom province, on the outskirts of Bangkok. The annual celebration commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha. Taken using long exposure, the image beautifully captures the essence of worship and devotion. The unrecognizable worshippers create an ethereal atmosphere with their flames illuminating the serene surroundings. Against a backdrop of a clear blue sky, their flickering lights form mesmerizing trails that symbolize faith and spiritual enlightenment. The creative use of light adds depth to this picture, emphasizing both the traditional aspects of Buddhism and its connection to nature. The silhouette of the large Buddha statue stands tall amidst this atmospheric scene, radiating tranquility and wisdom. As each individual carries their candle with reverence and dedication, it is evident that this moment holds great significance for them personally. The soft glow from their candles creates a sense of unity among these worshippers who have come together to pay homage to Buddha's teachings. With ample copy space around the image, viewers can reflect upon their own spirituality while appreciating this powerful display of devotion captured by Chaiwat Subprasom. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of religious traditions but also highlights our universal need for faith in something greater than ourselves.
