Sunshine Spring by Shovan Acharyya

Captured during a crisp February morning in the wetlands of Sunamgonj, this image marks the transition from winter to spring. After a long day of birding, the photographer discovered a vibrant cotton tree illuminated by the soft, golden light of the early sun. The composition masterfully contrasts the fiery red blossoms against the cooling atmosphere, capturing the poetic arrival of a new season. This photograph is award-worthy for its evocative storytelling and the way it transforms a simple moment of natural observation into a serene, atmospheric study of light and seasonal change.
