ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This huge whale shark was swimming straight towards me. It was a super moment as the light reflections from the sun created these rays of light streaming up. The diver' added to the flavour and showed scale. Definitely a fantastic monochrome moment for me.

AUTHOR
I did a lot of wildlife photography before 1995 in the film days. Won some awards as also had pictures and articles published. Post that i took a long sabbatical as my daughter was born in 1996 and son in 2001. I finally got the itch again in 2006 and in 2007 decided to start wildlife photography again, albeit with a twist - only underwater. Since then i have logged over 1400 + dives and have been getting images from the underwater marine world. Have won a few international awards including one in the ocean art competition as well as local awards. Have had some articles published in wildlife, rail and airline magazines, national and international. Although this is not my main source of earning, it is still a driving force that gives me the energy and happiness that life can offer. I have also been part of the team as principal photographer, that dived the Angrai Banks for the very first time in India, sponsored by the National institute of Oceanography, Goa, India. I have also helped the Bombay Natural History Society(BNHS) in many of their ocean related projects.
