Sunset by the Seine by Minh Nghia Le

Captured during a trip to Paris, this photograph documents a fleeting, magical moment along the Seine River. While the photographer originally intended to photograph the city from the Eiffel Tower, they were instead captivated by an unplanned sunset where a heavenly ray of light pierced the clouds and danced across the water. This ephemeral display lasted only five minutes, highlighting the beauty of spontaneity in travel photography. The image is award-worthy for its ability to seize a transient atmospheric phenomenon, transforming a standard cityscape into a luminous, ethereal scene that emphasizes the wonder of being in the right place at the right time.

    And you took all those beautiful colours away and made it grayscale for the purposes of looking ‘artsy’. :(
