The prize-winning photograph captures the high definition and exceptional quality of the vast plains of Lankao County in Henan Province, part of the North China Plain. Taken in the 1980s, it depicts a farmer pulling a cart loaded with firewood along a dirt road flanked by rows of poplar trees. Against the crisp autumn sky, the ash-brown leaves of the trees gently fall to the ground, showcasing the rural scenery of Lankao County in the 1980s.
