A supporter of the opposition Puea Thai Party holds up a plastic clapper in Si Sa Ket
A supporter of the opposition Puea Thai Party holds up a foot-shaped plastic clapper, a symbol of the anti-government " red shirt" movement, while cheering to political speeches delivered onstage at a townhall in Si Sa Ket province, 600 km (370 miles) northeast of Bangkok, August 2, 2010. Emergency rule has helped to restore order in Bangkok and many areas. But in the rice-growing farmlands of Si Sa Ket bordering Cambodia and other provinces where the decree has been lifted, Thailands political opposition is regrouping. Picture taken August 2, 2010.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a passionate supporter of the opposition Puea Thai Party proudly raises a foot-shaped plastic clapper, symbolizing the renowned "red shirt" movement. The enthusiastic individual can be seen cheering amidst a sea of fellow supporters as political speeches echo through the air at a townhall in Si Sa Ket province, located 600 km northeast of Bangkok. Taken on August 2,2010, during a period when emergency rule was implemented to restore order in Bangkok and other areas, this image captures the resilience and determination of Thailand's political opposition. While peace has been reestablished in many regions, Si Sa Ket's rice-growing farmlands - where the decree had been lifted - became fertile ground for regrouping dissenters. The composition beautifully highlights both unity and diversity within the crowd. With an outstretched hand holding up the red-colored clapper against nature's backdrop, it conveys solidarity with their cause while showcasing their unwavering support for change. The depth of field emphasizes this lone figure among many others who share their beliefs. This photograph not only documents a significant moment in Thailand's political history but also serves as a powerful reminder of how social issues can mobilize people from all walks of life towards collective action. It is an evocative portrayal that encapsulates passion and hope amid challenging times.
