EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a member of the guard of honor stands tall and unwavering in front of Romania's national flag during a military parade commemorating Romania's National Day. The close-up shot focuses on the soldier's hat, revealing intricate details that symbolize their dedication and commitment to duty. With an unrecognizable face hidden in shadow, this image emphasizes the anonymous sacrifice made by these brave individuals. The composition skillfully captures the contrast between the sharpness of the uniformed figure against a blurred background, highlighting both their presence and the significance of their role. The vast expanse of sky creates an awe-inspiring backdrop, reminding us of our place within something greater than ourselves. This photograph evokes a sense of patriotism as it showcases one individual among many who proudly serve their country. It serves as a reminder that behind every flag lies countless stories embodying courage and selflessness. Radu Sigheti's creative use of depth-of-field adds another layer to this powerful image. By intentionally blurring certain elements, he draws attention to specific body parts while allowing viewers to appreciate not only the person but also their environment - nature and weather playing supporting roles in this display of national pride. Overall, Sigheti's photograph encapsulates both reverence for tradition and appreciation for those who protect it; it is an homage to all those who stand at attention with unwavering loyalty under their nation's colors.
