EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Pascal Rossignol, the sheer power of nature is on full display as waves relentlessly crash against a lighthouse in Boulogne-sur-Mer, northern France. The wind howls at an astonishing speed of around 100 kph (62 mph), creating a dramatic scene that evokes both awe and trepidation. The image captures the strength and energy of the ocean as it collides with the sturdy structure of the lighthouse. The waves, reaching towering heights, splash against its exterior with incredible force, sending sprays of water into the air. Against a backdrop of an ominous sky and rough sea, this photograph showcases nature's raw power in all its glory. Amidst this chaotic spectacle, a lone bird can be seen soaring above the crashing waves - a testament to its resilience in such harsh conditions. With no human presence in sight, this image highlights the dominance of nature over man-made structures. Rossignol's creative use of composition allows for ample copy space within the frame, emphasizing the vastness and grandeur of both land and sea. This photograph serves as a reminder that despite our attempts to control or tame it, nature will always prevail with its unyielding might. It is through images like these that we are reminded to respect and appreciate Mother Nature's immense power while also acknowledging our own vulnerability in her presence.
