PHOTO CONTEST / 2003 FINALISTS

THEME: REFLECTION

Pedro Victor Cardoso, 17
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

I took this photo one afternoon at Lage Park, a well-known leisure area in Rio de Janeiro. The park has a lot of good memories associated with it. I used to go there a lot with my father — also a photographer, and my mentor — when I was young.

Visually, the photo presents an altered reflection of light where a spot of green light rests on the lake. The dauk background acts as a contrasting element between the brilliant light and the affected object (the lake), as if it were a manifestation of hope reaching a previously darkened environment, bringing the image of change.
