Captured at the Fishery Ghat in Chittagong, this photograph freezes a fleeting moment of pure, unadulterated childhood joy. The photographer observed a young boy flying a kite atop a stone barrier, his movements radiating a dauntless energy that serves as a poignant mirror to the viewer’s own forgotten youth. Taken at midday, the image utilizes a fast shutter speed to crisply define the boy against the coastal backdrop. It is an award-worthy piece because it transcends a simple portrait, successfully evoking a universal nostalgia and the bittersweet realization of how precious childhood is only once it has passed.

Not just Cacti in Sonora by Ana Sylvia Encinas
great composition
nice photography
It is a remarkable moment of childhood registered by the photographer. It is nothing more related to this part of chil’s life like playing with a kite. For me it is an essence of “catching the moment” in photojournalism.
