Subas describes his picture with multiple patterns thus: “Natural and sexual selection are responsible for evolution of different patterns in living things. These\u00a0patterns in different body parts of\u00a0 living organisms serve several purposes like camouflage, sexual selection, mimicry and different kinds of signaling.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Congratulations Subas<\/strong> for making it to top 15!<\/p>\n

The Nature India<\/em> photo contest is in it\u2019s second year. It has received an overwhelming response with hundreds of\u00a0entries from around the world. Conceived with the idea of appreciating the art in all things\u00a0science, the theme for 2015 was \u2018Patterns\u2019 \u2014 geometric, natural, abstract, under the microscope, in\/on the human body or in space.<\/p>\n

The quality and novelty of some of the entries this year has been exceptional. Amateur and professional photographers, scientists and non-scientists, mobile cameras to high-end DSLRs \u2014 everything seems to have come together in looking for patterns across landscapes, demographics and cultures.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Nature India<\/em>\u00a0editorial and design team is sure having a tough time selecting just three winners, who stand a chance of seeing their entries grace the cover page of one of our forthcoming print publications. The winner and two runners-up will receive\u00a0a copy of the\u00a0<\/strong>just released\u00a0Nature India Special Annual Volume\u00a0<\/strong>and a bag of goodies<\/strong>\u00a0from the Nature Publishing Group.<\/p>\n

As a run up to the final announcement, we will be rolling out the top 15 finalists of the photo competition (in no particular order of merit) over the next few days\u00a0on the Indigenus<\/a> blog as well as our social media platforms (Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>).\u00a0The final results will be announced in\u00a0November 2015<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nature India\u2019<\/em>s final decision to chose the winner will be partly influenced by\u00a0the engagement and reception he\/she receives here at the Indigenus blog, on\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0and on Facebook<\/a>. To give all finalists a fair chance, we will\u00a0take into consideration the\u00a0social media engagement of each picture only during the first seven days of its announcement.<\/p>\n

So watch out for our other finalists and feel free to promote, share and like your favourite entries with the hashtag\u00a0#NatureIndphoto.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
