Marco Polo Sunset by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Captured from the terrace of the Marco Polo Pizzeria, this photograph immortalizes the breathtaking sunsets that grace the west coast of Siquijor, Philippines. The photographer skillfully framed the scene to highlight the island's reputation as an undiscovered pearl, utilizing the golden hour light to cast a warm, inviting glow over the horizon. This image is award-worthy for its evocative composition and its ability to transport the viewer to a serene, tropical sanctuary, perfectly capturing the quiet magic of a daily ritual in one of Southeast Asia's most enchanting and photogenic destinations.
