During my visit to the Pushkar Mela, I had an unexpected encounter with a camel herder named Jaisaram. What struck me instantly was the deep affection he shared with his camel. His bond with the animals was undeniable, and it was this connection that drew me in, sparking a desire to learn more about his life and capture the moment through photos. Jaisaram had come to the fair with the hope of selling his beloved camel, driven by the harsh realities of poverty. However, despite spending four long days at the fair, he returned to his village without any money, knowing only that his camel—his loyal companion—would be by his side. This poignant journey of love, hardship, and resilience left a lasting impression on me.

Dancing frogs wave their legs, or \"foot flag\", to attract mates and signal to other males during breeding season. This behavior is unique to dancing frogs, which are part of the Micrixalidae family.
– Рейтинг фотографов по странам и городам строится на основе 3-х лучших фотографий автора и их относительной позиции в каждой отдельной номинации. Рейтинг в номинации "Мобильная фотография" учитывается в меньшей степени для формирования рейтинга. В списке по странам и городам показывается одна фотография автора с лучшим рейтингом.
– В списке опубликованы только работы которые прошли 2-й этап голосования.
– В рейтинге лучших фотографий учитывается только одна — самая сильная — работа от каждого автора. Даже если у фотографа опубликовано несколько работ, в расчёте позиции используется только одна, с наившим рейтингом. Поэтому порядок фотографий в списке может не совпадать с итоговым положением автора в рейтинге.
– The rating of photographers by countries and cities is based on the three best photos of the author and their relative position in each separate nomination. Rating in the nomination "Mobile Photography" is taken into account to a lesser extent for rating formation. The list by country and city shows one photo of the author with the best rating.
– Only those photos have been published in the list that passed the second stage of voting.
– Only one strongest photo from each author is counted in the Best Photos ranking. Even if a photographer has several published works, only the highest-rated one is used to calculate their ranking position. As a result, the order of photos in the list may not match the author's final ranking position.
