Tracy Natalie Sowell, Tactical Triumph (PEOPLE 2024)

I captured this image of my two sons playing chess on an expedition ship sailing to Antarctica. Their interaction and laughter at the time of defeat was captivating as the one outmanoeuvred the other. I also liked the expression on their father’s face in the background as he is filled with amusement. It made me feel grateful that they had this time together.
