“Without plants and water, human life cannot be imagined. Plants evolved in water before moving on to land. These leaves of the pink water lily, Nymphaea pubescens, (sanskrit\/hindi — kumud) seemed to be in perfect harmony with the water around them. This scene at dusk outside a Shiva temple appeared so soft and subtle, it looked like a floating dream.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The photo was taken at ‘Rani ka Talab’ in Ambala Cantonment, Haryana during November 2015.<\/p>\n

Congratulations Sheesh Paul<\/strong> for making it to the top ten!<\/p>\n

And with that, we are done rolling out the top 10 finalists (in no particular order of merit) for this year’s photo competition!<\/p>\n

Nature India’s<\/em>\u00a0editorial and design team will now select three winners, who stand a chance of seeing their entries grace the cover page of one of our forthcoming print publications. The final results will be announced in\u00a0late December\u00a02016<\/strong>. So keep an eye here!<\/p>\n

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 Springer\u00a0Nature.<\/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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
