Caught Special - 58

Participated in the International Photography Award contest conducted in Dubai recently, third year in a row. A popular and very competitive contest where several thousands participate from around the world.

The contest this year had the following four different categories against which one photo each was to be submitted.
             1) Happiness
             2) Wildlife
             3) Father and son
             4) General

Had submitted my photo entries for each one of them. Though my pictures did not get shortlisted in the contest further, I had selected the top-3 picks from my collection for all the four categories, and have shared them here. 

See the collage of all the 12 photos above. To view individual images and info about each, go to full view below.

Give some time for the images to load and then you should be fine.
