  11. Apart from a good camera, A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH needs skill, good back drop, focus, nature at its best and most importantly TIMING & MAGIC OF LIGHT TO BE CAPTURED.

    Almost all entries have common points. However, the entries of Rochika, Chowdegowda and Ray have prominent TIME FACTOR.

    Ankit’s entry showed PERFECT LIGHT CAPTURING SKILLS AT NATURE’S BEST TIME.

    My regards to all .

  32. All the pics are priceless. But, I feel the magic Ankit has created with the lighted tents and the canopy of a starlit sky stands out. Brilliant!!

    Seriously…
    River picture from Annapurna base camp is really a selected nomination out of hundreds of entries.
    Disappointed with the entries selected.
