A perfect landing by a Mute Swan. This image reflects a strong contrast between the calmness induced by the white beauty on the swan against the disturbance caused in the water by its landing. I reduced exposure on the background to reflect the same contrast.

After saving these two hummingbird chicks when they were just a day old when the branch their nest was on broke during a storm (I replaced it and attached it to its original tree), I had the honor of watching them and their mom as the chicks grew to fledglings and then flew away. This picture was a few days before they actually left the nest. The dark stucco of my house provided a perfect backdrop to their activities.

This jumping spider was personable and very easy to photograph as it was willing to sit still, facing me.

This praying mantis looks completely shocked and like it was caught doing something wrong. I had to laugh while taking this shot, as mantis seem to be very expressive sometimes.

A young white bear from Manitoba while lazily enjoying a soft snowfall. It is morning in Hudson Bay, Canada, and the bear has just woken up. I succeeded in capturing it at an extreme temperature (-26 °), in a surreal silence, after observing its habits for a few days. The polar bear spends most of its time sleeping and lounging in the snow. It only moves when it's hungry. To hunt its favorite prey - the seal - it is willing to walk hundreds of miles. Its refined nose allowes the bear to sneak up on its prey with a paw when the seal rises to the surface to breathe.

Hundreds of sheets of cloth create a rainbow of colours as workers lay them out to dry. A sea of red, orange, pink, purple and yellow can be seen in these aerial shots as the fabric dries in a field. Workers can also be seen in the middle of the palette of colour as they unfold each sheet. Once the cloth dries it is used to create traditional Bangladeshi women's dresses.

The icy breath of the north covered everything around with ice cover. But the Restless Barents Sea does not want to give up.

A Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) surveys its surroundings from a vantage point at sunset, with the imposing Torres del Paine (Chile) in the background. Scouts like this individual keep an eye out for predators.

Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the Southwestern United States, one of the most visited and photographed in the world. The geological formation has been pierced due to the passage of water currents through an epigenetic process for thousands of years, and its walls reach 40 meters high at some points.

A banded anole from the Amazon rainforest, these lizards live in the trees and rely on their excellent camouflage to stay safe.

This photo shows the beautiful landscape of Capital Reef National Park with its amazing old orchards in foreground. Capital Reef has many old orchards of peaches, apples and apricots. The park lets you eat all you want if you eat it in the orchard.

It was a quiet morning at Nagarahole Tiger Reserve, Sun was opening up and the mist from the night was clearing. As we made a drive through the wood we saw this beautiful leopardess perching on her favourite tree. This leopardess was marking her presence by rubbing her scent glands to the tree trunk by hugging it. This behaviour was very interesting to witness as it was marking her scent on the top branches of the tree. This is one of the favourite pictures that I took recently because of the whole setup. Artistically one can visualize the tree branch as an "Arm of the Mother Nature" and leopard is holding on to it. It shows the unmitigated bonding shared between the tree and the Leopard.

The proboscis monkey is a species endemic to Borneo. I areas where they occur they are quite easy to encounter as they have reddish fur and make strange burping sounds for communication.

The Blue Insularis is a venomous pit viper species commonly found in Indonesia. This is a photo of a specimen feeding on a frog, and with another snake close by trying to take a bite.

When the full moon rises, dark skies shine with bright fire, and the stars go to the dance, as if greeting it. Kazakhstan

Karyukai - the very secretive flower and willow world of the Japanese Geishas. Each Geisha is like a flower, beautiful in her own way, and like a willow tree, gracious, flexible and strong. For many locals, even those living in Kyoto, the closest they have come is perhaps glimpsing a Geisha alighting from taxis and quickly disappearing behind a nameless sliding door. The Geiko Tomitsuyuu enjoying the peace and serenity of the quiet temple room. She thinks of her music and her dance. The scene is like a fairy tale, the Heron Maiden...

Hubbard's Sportive Lemurs are nocturnal. This one curiously peeked out of its hollow tree trunk bedroom when we made a bit of noise. We spotted it from a distance at Zombitse National Park in Madagascar.

I was wandering in a foggy morning, suddenly I saw a group of village children were going for tuition and they have to cross the rail line every day. I was amazed to see this. But it was natural for them. To me it was so dangerous and too risky. Oh God, please save them.

This photo was taken from the Tunnel View at Yosemite National Park. The photo is of Bridalveil Fall consumed by smoke due to controlled burning on the Yosemite Valley floor.

In South Asia, chillis are dried on the ground, before they are preserved or made into spices. The process requires workers (usually ladies) to lay out the chillis in the sun, and flip them every now and then to ensure a consistent drying process.
