EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Dadang Tri, a man holds a candle during a Christmas mass at the Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta. The image beautifully portrays the essence of faith and warmth that permeates through the night. With an unrecognizable figure, the focus is shifted towards the creative use of bokeh, creating an ethereal atmosphere. The Gelora Bung Karno stadium becomes a sanctuary for approximately 50 thousand Christians who gather to celebrate Christmas, making it Jakarta's largest religious gathering. As darkness envelops the stadium, flickering candlelight illuminates faces filled with devotion and joy. This photograph symbolizes unity as people from diverse backgrounds come together under one roof to commemorate this significant occasion. The indonesian man's hand delicately cradles the candle flame, representing his unwavering belief in his religion. Nature plays its part as well; soft yellow hues blend harmoniously with shadows cast by surrounding bodies. The composition allows for ample copy space around the central subject, emphasizing both individual spirituality and collective worship. Dadang Tri skillfully captures this momentous event where faith transcends boundaries and brings people closer together. This image serves as a testament to the power of religion in fostering harmony amidst diversity - reminding us all of the true spirit of Christmas.
