A water buffalo is seen before the start of Chonburis annual buffalo race festival, around 75 km (47 miles) southeast of Bangkok, October 11, 2011. The event, which also celebrates the rice harvest, dates back to the buffalo trade in Chonburi, once the trade centre of Thailands east.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Chaiwat Subprasom, a majestic water buffalo stands poised before the commencement of Chonburi's annual buffalo race festival. The image transports us to the heart of Thailand, approximately 75 km southeast of Bangkok, where tradition and celebration intertwine. As we gaze upon the close-up shot, our attention is immediately drawn to the intricate details that define this magnificent creature. Its powerful snout dominates the frame, revealing a set of formidable teeth that hint at its untamed nature. The rope gently draped around its neck serves as a reminder of its connection to human civilization and their shared history. The composition cleverly plays with depth of field and focus, allowing us to appreciate both the sharpness in which every strand of hair is rendered and the blurred background that hints at an air of anticipation surrounding this grand event. Against this backdrop, we witness an oddly creative use of space as only one water buffalo takes center stage amidst an empty landscape. Beyond being a mere animal portrait, this photograph encapsulates more than meets the eye. It symbolizes not only Thailands' rich agricultural heritage but also pays homage to Chonburi's historical significance as a bustling trade hub for these magnificent creatures. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us marvel at nature's wonders while appreciating humanity's enduring bond with animals like these water buffaloes who have played such integral roles in shaping our world.
