ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In the villages of India, you would stumble upon these owlets dotted on palm trees, on electric poles and electric wires. But with little light, you only know of their presence owing to the flutter of the wings. As we shone a dimly lit torch to find our way, this one caught our attention, as we caught his. In the scarce light, the blades of the palm tree and this lone bird looked surreal. It seemed a moment too eerily perfect to be missed. The natural noise in the image was used to advantage to add texture and the monochromatic rendition was kept in mind while making this shot to convey the atmosphere of nighty calm.
