EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a statue at Kofukuji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Nara, Kansai, Japan. The image showcases the intricate details of this remarkable sculpture, which stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The statue is carved from stone and depicts a male likeness with an expressive face and a halo adorning his head. A vibrant red ribbon is delicately wrapped around him, symbolizing protection and covering. In perfect alignment, several bowls are placed in a row before him, creating an intriguing visual composition. The photographer skillfully employs differential focus to draw attention to the close-up view of the statue's face and head while maintaining clarity throughout the image. This technique enhances our appreciation for the meticulous craftsmanship involved in its creation. Set against an outdoor backdrop on a sunny day with no one else present, this photograph invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquility that permeates this sacred site. It serves as both an invitation and inspiration for travel enthusiasts seeking unique destinations that offer glimpses into ancient traditions and spiritual practices. Ian Trower/Robert Harding has masterfully captured not only the physical attributes but also the intangible essence of this extraordinary place through his expert use of color photography.
