EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Adnan Abidi, an Indian soldier takes charge of traffic control during the rehearsal for the prestigious "Beating the Retreat" ceremony in New Delhi, India. The image showcases a low angle view that emphasizes the soldier's authority and determination as he stands alone amidst the bustling urban city. The historic building in the background adds a touch of grandeur to the scene, while street life unfolds around him. This creative use of architecture and environment creates a striking contrast between tradition and modernity. The silhouette of this unrecognizable soldier against the backdrop of an expansive sky highlights his unwavering commitment to duty. As pedestrians walk past, going about their day, this dedicated policeman remains focused on maintaining order and ensuring smooth traffic flow. His uniform symbolizes not only his role but also represents countless soldiers who tirelessly serve their nation. With ample copy space surrounding this powerful image, viewers are invited to reflect on themes such as patriotism, discipline, and sacrifice. Moreover, it serves as a reminder of how individuals can make a significant impact within their communities. Adnan Abidi's skillful composition captures both action and stillness simultaneously – showcasing not just one individual but also representing all those who work diligently behind-the-scenes to uphold law and order in our cities.
