Breakfast Time by Sanjoy Sengupta

Captured during a visit to Safari World in Bangkok, this photograph highlights a quiet, intimate moment of a wild animal enjoying its morning meal. The photographer expertly utilized the soft, early morning sunlight to create a striking rim light effect, which beautifully illuminates the subject's glossy fur and adds depth to the composition. This image is award-worthy for its masterful use of natural light and the photographer's keen ability to transform a fleeting, everyday wildlife interaction into a compelling, high-contrast portrait that emphasizes texture and form.
