EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and power of a training naval mines blast during a military drill at Kaohsiung's Zuoying naval base in Taiwan. The image, taken by photographer Tyrone Siu on January 31,2018, showcases the explosive moment against an expansive backdrop of air, sky, and water. The composition is strikingly creative as it juxtaposes the destructive force of the explosion with the serene beauty of nature. The horizon line divides the frame perfectly, emphasizing both elements. With no people present in the shot, all attention is drawn to this ominous display. The wave-like water splashes high into the air as if attempting to escape from its dangerous surroundings. The mine explosive creates a dramatic splash that adds depth and movement to an otherwise still scene. Against this backdrop, one cannot help but feel a sense of awe and respect for those who undergo such rigorous training exercises. The photograph serves as a reminder of both the environmental impact and potential danger associated with military drills like these. It highlights how human activities can disrupt natural harmony while showcasing our ability to harness immense power for defense purposes. Tyrone Siu's skillful capture freezes this fleeting moment in time forever – an extraordinary testament to his talent as well as his dedication to documenting significant events around us.
