THEME: Shades of life

Category : Judges' Choice

Top 4 Entries

1. The umbrella of life: Fungi with well over 1.4 million species are the major decomposers in most terrestrial ecosystems, and therefore play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles. - Zeeshan Mirza

2. Fragile forms: Global climate change, air plus water pollution and chytrid threaten the fragile world of amphibians which are dependent on water as well as air. Lastly, habitat destruction takes a heavy toll on local populations. - Zeeshan Mirza

3. Ray of hope - Gopishankar Thirumoorthy

4. When light brings us hope… - Jigme Wangchuk

1. Ray of hope - Gopishankar Thirumoorthy

2. Magic in dusk: In this fast-paced life, we tend to compete, but not contrast. If only one slows down a bit, and observes the ever so slight transitions around, one can be drawn into life's magical aura. - Joyleen Fernandes

3. Red-eyed serpent: Common throughout northeast India, the Pope's pit viper are venomous snakes that are arboreal. These snakes are well camouflaged in their habitat. But the brilliant colours stand out here on a black background, especially the red eyes that give away the identity of the species. - Zeeshan Mirza

4. Shades of evening sky - Prasad Thazhe Kootteri

1. There is beauty in Harmony: This picture of the setting sun provides a wonderful backdrop to the oil rig, the large commercial ship, and the seagull going about their business. - Jigme Wangchuk

2. Nature - The constant silent observer: While everyone was busy taking pictures of the snowcapped mountains on the other side, I could not help but notice the part of the mountain that has been cleared for the road. The separated part of the mountain looked almost like an old ragged soul meekly surrendering itself to the inevitability. - Jigme Wangchuk

3. Innovate to conserve and preserve before it's too late: You know that a particular setting deserves a capture when you see innovation merging with conservation/preservation. - Jigme Wangchuk

4. The Solar Lamp Illusion: In an age of power cuts, coal shortages, and increased climatic disasters; Maybe it's time to turn towards something so abundant and yet underused - The Sun. In this image, the Sun is caught perfectly in the place of the bulb. Providing us with the perfect illusion - Shania Mendonca

2. The Flamboyant dragon: The Superb fan-throated lizard inhabits the high elevation plateaus of the Satara district of Maharastra that are dominated by windmills.

3.There is beauty in Harmony: This picture of the setting sun provides a wonderful backdrop to the oil rig, the large commercial ship, and the seagull going about their business. - Jigme Wangchuk
