EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Kena Betancur, a resident in Port-au-Prince marks his ballot during the presidential elections on March 20,2011. The photo depicts a significant moment in Haiti's history as the nation strives for stability and recovery following the devastating earthquake that struck earlier. The voter remains anonymous, represented only by their squatting position and unrecognizable features. This anonymity serves to highlight the collective voice of the Haitian people rather than focusing on any individual. The black racial group to which they belong is also mentioned, emphasizing diversity within the country. The setting is an interior poll center with minimal distractions; a weathered wall acts as a backdrop while packaging materials lie scattered nearby. These details reflect both resilience and resourcefulness amidst challenging circumstances. As foreign donors hope for stability through these elections, this photograph captures real people engaging in their civic duty despite adversity. It showcases creative use of space with copy space left intentionally blank to allow viewers to contemplate the significance of this momentous occasion. Kena Betancur's skillful composition and attention to detail make this image one of Reuters' top pictures from that day. Through her lens, she encapsulates not just an election but also a symbol of hope and determination for Haiti's future.
