Siena International Photo Awards 2022: all the winners. Despair of an elderly woman's overall winning shot

The overall winning shot of the Siena International Photo Awards 2022 is entitled Woman from Evia and was taken by Greek photographer Konstantinos Tsakalidis: the shot illustrates the despair of an 81-year-old Greek woman at the moment when flames are about to approach her home on the island of Evia.
