EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the Beirut Hippodrome in Lebanon, where a horse stands gracefully in front of a bullet-riddled wall. The instinctual presence of this domesticated animal against the backdrop of destruction creates a striking juxtaposition. Despite its surroundings, the horse exudes an air of beauty and strength. The lone racehorse is captured in exquisite detail, showcasing its sleek and colourful exterior. With no people around, it stands as a testament to nature's resilience amidst human turmoil. The creative use of cropping allows us to focus on the majestic side view of the horse, emphasizing its power and grace. As sunlight bathes the scene with an atmospheric glow, we can't help but be drawn into the picturesque environment that surrounds this magnificent creature. The worn strap around its neck hints at past victories on this very racetrack - a place that hopes for winning streaks again. This image by Jamal Saidi reminds us that even in times of adversity, beauty can still be found in nature's creations. It serves as a poignant reminder that hope can arise from unexpected places and that strength can emerge from within even when faced with external challenges.
