Caught Special - 39

I participated in the World Photography Awards contest conducted by Sony in London recently. It is a very popular and highly competitive contest where several thousands participate from around the world. This year's contest had over 139,000 photographs entered into the competition.

The contest had the following different categories, while I was eligible to submit 1 photo each against only (any) 3 of these categories.

         1. Architecture

         2. Arts and Culture

         3. Digitally Enhanced

         4. Low Light 

         5. Nature & Wildlife 

         6. People

         7. Smile

         8. Split Second

         9. Travel

I had submitted one best pick from my collection of photos for the three categories: Architecture, Nature & Wildlife, Smile. 

Though my pictures did not get shortlisted in the contest further, since I had selected the top-3 picks from my collection for all the nine categories, I am glad to share all of those twenty-seven photos here.

Please take a close look at these twenty-seven photos (click on them for full-size view). I will be happy to know your critical comments about these photos. Please post your comments here.
