Here are the pictures selected by the Jury for the Collection-23.
This one's seriously special for me since i was going to mistakenly hold this branch while on a Night Trail near Sawantwadi, if it was not my colleagues headlamp which for a Micro Second shined its eyes that i realized this was a Malabar Pit Viper male. This Brown Morph was so well camouflaged that you simply cant make out if its a snake or a tree branch. Even though bites from a Malabar Pit Viper isn't fatal to humans but this was a close call nevertheless.
About Photographer
I'm a Cybersecurity Analyst by profession with over 17yrs in the I.T field & I'm a avid animal/bird lover. I used to take really decent pictures as a kid when i used to attend parties, weddings, family functions etc. But 2020 was the year i started to take photography very seriously, during the Lockdown all i did was Work, Eat, Sleep & Binge Read, Watch videos & go through other white papers & articles by some really great globally recognized photographers. By the time the lockdown ended I had enough self taught knowledge & know hows about Photography that i started to unleash my skills.
