- Title: The Lonely Verandah “While I was shooting around my locality, I saw a woman sitting in her veranda and staring at the sky. I found her expression and the whole ambience to be very serene, and so I decided to take the picture. I also felt the sunlight framed her face in a beautiful manner.” Camera: Canon PowerShot A620 IS ISO: 400 Aperture: f/5.6 Shutterspeed: 1/50sec Photograph/Chandan Bhowmik, Kolkata

- Title: The Sound of Music “I was at the beach when I noticed a boy selling flutes. I thought of framing the picture from the high angle to make it unusual. I like how the flutes reeds create the leading lines in the frame.” Camera: Nikon D90 ISO: 200 Aperture: f/5 Shutterspeed: 1/400sec Photograph/Jaya Kumar, Chennai
