EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ueslei Marcelino, a soldier of the presidential guard stands tall and resolute during the changing of the guard ceremony in front of Brazil's majestic presidential palace. The soldier, clad in his impeccable uniform and armed with his weapon, exudes an aura of strength and dedication. As sunlight filters through the clear blue sky above, casting a halo-like glow around him, the soldier's silhouette creates an ominous yet awe-inspiring image against the backdrop of Brasilia's architectural marvels. His unrecognizable face adds to the mystique, allowing viewers to focus on his role as a symbol rather than an individual. The creative use of shadow highlights both the soldier's body part and armaments while also emphasizing their significance within this military setting. With copy space cleverly left open, one can't help but wonder about his thoughts and emotions hidden behind that stoic expression. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of the dedicated individuals who protect our nation day after day. It showcases nature's collaboration with man-made structures and how even something as simple as changing guards can become oddly captivating when seen from a different perspective. Ueslei Marcelino has masterfully crafted an image that transcends its subject matter – it is both visually striking and thought-provoking.
