Cosmo Field by Harry Ravelo

Captured near the scenic town of Paarl, this image documents a quiet, ephemeral moment amidst a vibrant field of cosmos. While enjoying a lunch with friends, the photographer stepped away to immerse himself in the wild flora that defines the Western Cape landscape. By positioning the camera low among the blooms, he captures the magical, delicate interplay between the flowers and the soft natural light. The photograph is award-worthy for its ability to transform a fleeting, spontaneous encounter with nature into a serene and evocative composition that highlights the quiet beauty of the South African countryside.

    Cosmos, derived from the Greek, mean “a balanced universe”. We need more Cosmos to cover Mother Earth! Meaning, adds to the appreciation. Beautiful!
