3 Vietnamese photos made a strong impression at the international contest

Revolving around the theme "Rise", this year there were nearly 11,000 photo entries from more than 100 countries and territories, according to photography magazine 121clicks .

Meric Aktar from Türkiye won first place with his photo "The Return of the Shepherd"

The photo is about a buffalo herder in the village of Dokuzpınar, Kayseri Province, Türkiye. The herder is on his way home with his herd of about 500 buffalo. Every sunset is the start of a new adventure for the herder. His journey begins early in the morning in the Hürmetçi Grasslands and ends near the banks of a creek as the herd crosses the dusty road in the twilight. The herder sometimes turns up his horse and his dog bites the ankles of the slow-moving buffalo to get past. This journey is a visual feast every day during the summer months.

Like plants, we humans also undergo transformation over time and mature through challenges and experiences. The photo "Rise" by Jonas Hafner, Germany, won second prize.

The Karo tribe, who live in the area southeast of the Omo River in Ethiopia, are a group of just over 1,000 people. They rely on agriculture and the natural annual flooding of the Omo River. "Caro Boy" by Svetlin Yosifov, Bulgaria, won third place

"The Rise of Victory", a work by photographer Tran Tuan Viet, ranked fourth. Teammates lift the winner high after a muddy ball fight and cheers at the mud wrestling festival in Van village, Bac Giang province. The festival is a characteristic of wet rice culture, expressing the desire of agricultural residents to pray for a year of favorable weather and bountiful crops. This is considered a "unique" festival in Vietnam, attracting many tourists, taking place every four years, from the 12th to the 14th of the fourth lunar month.
