EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image capturing the emptiness and surreal atmosphere of St. James Park during the Arsenal vs Newcastle United Premier League match on May 2, 2021. In the foreground, Arsenal's Hector Bellerin can be seen in focused determination as he prepares to take on a challenge, oblivious to the absence of the usual roaring crowd that would have filled the stands. The photo poignantly illustrates the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on football and sports in general, with government social distancing laws prohibiting fans from attending games in person. Stadiums around the UK have been left eerily empty, stripping away the energy and passion that fans bring to the matches. Despite the empty seats, the intensity of the game remains palpable as Bellerin and his teammates push forward, determined to secure a win for Arsenal. The empty stands serve as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the football community during these unprecedented times, but also a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the sport and its players. MacFarlane's expert framing and composition add to the overall impact of the image, with Bellerin's figure prominently positioned against the backdrop of the empty stadium, drawing the viewer's attention to the action on the field. Overall, a powerful and evocative image that captures the essence of football in the age of the pandemic.
