EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Jason Lee, we see a flag covering the face of an honor guard during a welcoming ceremony for Greece's Prime Minister Antonis Samaras. The photograph was taken outside the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on May 16,2013. The close-up shot reveals the intricate details of the flag as it flutters in the wind atop a flagpole against an urban city backdrop. The honor guard remains unrecognizable and alone, their body covered by the patriotic symbol. The composition highlights both creativity and symbolism as only part of the soldier's body is visible beneath the suit and military uniform. This creative use of framing draws attention to their role in celebrating this important event. The contrast between black and red colors adds depth to this visually striking photo, while also representing elements such as power, resilience, and patriotism. The elevated view allows us to appreciate not only the soldier but also their surroundings. This image captures a moment frozen in time – a day when politics intersected with tradition and culture. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grand ceremonies and official visits, it is often individual soldiers who bear witness to these historic moments.
