The best storytellers in the world are known as photographers. They have the power to capture the most beautiful sights in a frame that’s not just enchanting but expressive. All of us admire the scenic clicks taken by various skilled photographers, however, the most amazing pictures are the ones of the wildlife.
There are numerous competitions that take place every year all over the world to showcase the best wildlife pictures captured by talented photographers. Interestingly, an Indian conservation photographer from Mumbai, named Nayan Khanolkar bagged the prestigious ‘Urban Wildlife Photographer Award’ given by the Natural History Museum, London, along with BBC.
The committee selected Khanolkar’s photograph titled as ‘The Alley Cat’. After a struggle of about four months, Nayan was able to capture this amazing photograph of a silent leopard in Mumbai. That’s right, there have been instances of leopards slipping into the suburban Aarey milk colony. The 42-year-old photographer has managed to get through 50,000 entries from over 90 countries. It is indeed a proud moment for Nayan as an Indian to be recognized with this title. Have a look at his stunning click:
The award is given on the basis of the story-telling power and individual quality of each photographer. The overall winner was Tim Laman from the United States for his image titled ‘Entwined Lives’ that captured a Bornean orangutan in the Indonesian rainforest.
