Joyful Bonds by Karthick Saravanan
"During the seascape photo walk on International Biodiversity Day at the Blue Flag Beach in Kovalam, Chennai, India, I experimented with various photography techniques and captured breathtaking shots.

Sail the Seven Seas by Leanne Lindsay
Will you sail the seven seas with me? The rain was putting on a steady performance outside my window this afternoon, and I felt a surge of creative energy. It was the perfect opportunity to take out my camera and play with some of its features I hadn't quite gotten around to yet. I also had this idea for a photo that had been brewing for a while, and today felt like the right day to bring it to life!
So, I grabbed an old book and a well-loved paper boat, the kind I used to make as a kid. Strangely enough, when I opened the book randomly, it happened to open up to an ancient map of the world. I arranged the book and boat on a table near the window, letting the soft, diffused light from the rain-covered sky bathe them in a gentle glow.
Focusing on a shallow depth of field helped blur the background and really make the paper boat the star of the show, creating a miniature world for the little paper boat to sail in.

The upside-down kattumaram boat in the frame adds an adventurous and playful element, beautifully illustrating the carefree essence of childhood
