Here are the pictures selected by the Jury for the Collection-33.
'Emerging from Silence' In the fading light, a golden jackal steps out of the shadows—half seen, half imagined. The darkness does not conceal, it reveals—drawing attention to the quiet intensity in the eyes, the alert stillness of a predator that thrives on subtlety rather than spectacle. This image explores the space between presence and absence, where form dissolves into shadow and the subject becomes an emotion rather than just an animal. It is a study of restraint—of light used sparingly to evoke mystery, tension, and quiet authority. - Jan 2026, Bharatpur

In a rare display of acrobatic grace, the Pale-billed Flowerpecker halts its restless flight to hover before a cluster of Indian cherries, its wings fanned wide to reveal their delicate span. I was fortunate to see this tiny bird having early morning breakfast.
