The Mangrove\'s Triumph Amidst Coral Decay and Light Pollution
This photograph was taken at Symphony Group of Resorts in Neil Island, Andamans where I was about to take pictures of a romantic dinner setup for honeymoon couples as part of their digital marketing content.
After I finished, I sat quietly and looked up at the clear sky with twinkling stars. I noticed that the lights from the decorations were having its adverse effect on the natural environment although they appear beautiful to human eyes. This also disrupts the natural patterns of wildlife and adds more carbon dioxide to the air. In the middle of it all, I saw a single mangrove tree growing among the lifeless black coral reefs.
These coral reefs are tough and have sharp edges, almost like stones. It made me feel like nature can still be beautiful and strong, even in difficult conditions.
– 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.
