22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Unity in White

In a vibrant scene at Malaysia's National Independence Parade, hundreds of audience members are gathered, creating a unified sea of white as they wear matching hats and shirts in celebration. The bright white outfits reflect a sense of national pride and solidarity, contrasting against the colorful parade procession in the background. Among them, one person stands out—a lone figure without a hat, subtly breaking the uniformity. This small difference adds an intriguing detail to the image, drawing the viewer's eye amidst the cohesive crowd in this patriotic gathering.
