The Golden Bridge at Kolkata by Achintya Guchhait

Captured at the historic Princep Ghat in Kolkata, this evocative night photograph showcases the serene beauty of the Ganges under the evening sky. The photographer expertly utilized a long exposure to capture the gentle movement of boats against the backdrop of the iconic memorial monument. By balancing the ambient light of the city with the stillness of the river, the image transforms a common evening scene into a timeless, atmospheric narrative. This work is award-worthy for its technical precision in low-light conditions and its ability to turn a local landmark into a poetic reflection of life in West Bengal.
