Childhood Resiliencen by Aakash Gulzar
"In Bandipora's peaceful village which is near the banks of wullar Lake, a boy and a girl run happily along an empty street. The photo's black and white tones show their excitement against a backdrop of damaged trees on one side. These fallen trees represent the difficulties they face. However, the village's strong spirit is evident as a few houses remain, providing comfort and hope along their journey."
Street Water Reflect as Mirror by Karthick Saravanan
While wandering along a roadside, the aftermath of a recent rainfall transformed the scene into a canvas ripe for capture. Puddles of rainwater scattered across the road became mirrors, reflecting the world above. Behind these reflective surfaces stood a tree, a shop, and a parked vehicle, each contributing to the composition of the moment. The photographer, seizing this opportunity, utilized the water's surface to capture a reflection of the scene, turning an ordinary street view into an intriguing play of light, shadow, and reflection. This image, a testament to the photographer's eye for capturing the beauty in everyday moments, showcases a dual perspective of life and its mirrored counterpart, offering a moment of pause and appreciation for the transient beauty of the post-rain streetscape.
